Independent advisor · Agentic AI SDLC

Code is no longer written. It is orchestrated.

I help CTOs, boards and engineering teams adopt AI coding agents across the software lifecycle, with the rigor a regulated company needs. 25+ years building software, 10+ as a CTO in fintech.

For CTOs and boards

What changes for a company, not only for developers

Producing software gets cheap

When executing code is cheap, software does not shrink, it multiplies (the Jevons paradox). Value moves from writing code to deciding what to build and how to verify it.

The bottleneck moves to verification

An agent does not know if it did the job right unless the project gives it a way to check. Tests, quality gates and policy become the product.

Responsibility does not move

Whoever directs the agent signs the result. Governance, auditability and data boundaries become board-level topics.

The data already shows it:

26% average productivity gain in software development from AI tools
Stanford HAI, AI Index 2026
25% of enterprise GenAI apps will suffer real security incidents by 2028, up from 9% in 2025
Gartner, Apr 2026
17% of organizations give the board direct oversight of AI governance
McKinsey

The workshop is a clear guide to preparing for the development methods of the future. The world has invented an automatic saw and knowing how to use it will distinguish those who build wooden skyscrapers from those who get crushed by a log. Victor's teachings have been key to paving the new way of working for our company.
