The biggest barrier to AI adoption isn't the technology — it's measurement, organizational readiness, and knowing what's actually working.

I lead Jellyfish Research, where we build AI agents and data platforms that help software engineering organizations measure and navigate AI transformation at scale. We share what we learn through published research, benchmarks, and industry events so engineering leaders can make confident, evidence-based decisions. I'm passionate about bridging the gap between cutting-edge AI research and practical value for engineering leaders.
