What this newsletter is about
Most AI advice comes from people selling AI. This comes from someone implementing it — inside a large, cautious, regulated organization where “move fast and break things” isn’t an option.
Every week, I write about what I’m actually seeing: which AI initiatives produce results and which ones stall, how operational discipline separates real adoption from expensive demos, and what technical professionals need to build to stay relevant.
Who it’s for
Mid-career professionals and leaders navigating AI adoption inside organizations that can’t afford to get it wrong — law firms, financial services, healthcare, government, or any environment where compliance, governance, and institutional caution shape every decision.
If you’re tired of AI hype from people who’ve never had to get a risk committee to approve a pilot, you’re in the right place.
What you’ll get
A weekly essay grounded in 25+ years of building software and leading AI operations at a national Canadian law firm. No listicles. No hype. Observations from the field, frameworks you can actually apply, and honest assessments of what’s working and what isn’t.
