What this publication is
After the Diagram is my independent publication about AI developer platforms, cloud economics, and agentic software delivery. I examine how architecture, tooling, team design, governance, and adoption shape what actually ships.
Posts are concise field notes: a pattern, tradeoff, implementation detail, or lesson from practice. White papers give the evidence and systems questions more room. Both formats share one goal: make the reasoning visible.
Why this perspective
My background spans cloud architecture, full-stack product development, applied AI, and engineering leadership. I co-founded and built a B2B SaaS platform that reached millions of listeners. I have also led engineering teams, advised founders on cloud and AI implementation, and helped organizations adopt developer tools.
I use that range to connect technical choices with their operating context: cost, team capacity, governance, developer experience, and the path from a promising prototype to durable software. The goal is not a universal playbook. It is to make the reasoning visible.
