CEO at Appvia

I run Appvia, the company behind Wayfinder. Most of my week is spent with engineering teams and CTOs who have a business problem to solve and want to use technologies like AI to solve it: to ship software faster, to ask questions of their data, and to put both to work in their own applications without taking on risk they can't see. I write here about what we see working, what we got wrong and what the numbers actually say.
