AI-Assisted Software Development

Help your developers ship faster with AI, using the right tools, practices and guardrails.

“Our developers are already using AI coding tools, some of them on personal accounts. We don’t know which tools are best, whether our code is safe, or if we’re actually getting faster.
What I often hear from SME leaders

The opportunity

AI coding assistants and agents can change how quickly a team ships, but only with the right tools, workflows and review practices. With almost two decades of engineering at Google behind me, I help teams adopt AI-assisted development the way it works in high-performing engineering organisations.

What I deliver

What you get

Tool selection

An objective comparison of coding assistants and agents (e.g. Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor) for your stack and constraints.

Workflows that work

Practical methods for planning, prompting, testing and reviewing AI-generated code.

Guardrails

Policies for source-code confidentiality, secrets, licensing and security review.

Team enablement

Hands-on sessions and pairing so the whole team benefits, not just the early adopters.

Typical use cases

  • Rolling out a coding assistant across a development team
  • Using agents for tests, refactoring and migrations
  • Modernising legacy code with AI support
  • Measuring the real impact on delivery speed and quality

How risk is managed

  • Business plans with no training on your code
  • Secrets and credentials kept out of prompts
  • Mandatory human review of AI-generated changes
  • Clear rules on which repositories and data tools can access

Tools & technology

Independent advice across Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, OpenAI Codex, Gemini and others. I recommend what fits, not what I resell.
