Why "let's take that offline" costs your team more than any bug ever has.

What I speak about

Decision Debt

Why decisions, not code, are the real constraint on software delivery — and how to find where yours are piling up.

The AI-Shaped Hole in Your Process

The slow build was a subsidy. It paid for every decision nobody had made yet. AI removed it, and what's left is the bottleneck that was always there.

When Testing Stopped Scaling

Code got fast and the gate at the end of it didn't. Why the testing queue is full, why it isn't a tooling problem, and what actually has to change.

Formats offered: a 30-minute talk or a 75-minute participatory workshop, adapted to the slot you've got. Available for events in Australia and internationally, and happy to come on podcasts.
