Founder, IHNT LLC

I've spent 25 years in software engineering, most of it building business applications and running engineering teams. These days that includes agent harnesses, and running models on my own hardware. Right now I'm fine-tuning a 27B model on .NET code examples, running the training on rented GPUs. If it works, I'll publish it openly. It's still in progress, so I can't tell you yet whether it's worth using.

Writing the code is no longer the hard part. An agent can produce a working feature in an afternoon. What is still hard is deciding what to build, seeing the possibilities clearly enough to choose between them, and getting it into production without breaking something that matters. That is where most of my time goes now, and it is why understanding the business matters more than it used to, not less.

Truly understanding the business process is critical to building the right software. I want to understand how the work gets done and where it's getting stuck before deciding what to build. The engineering decisions need to make sense for the business, including whether a more complicated approach is worth maintaining.

You don't need a technical specification to start a conversation with us. We can talk through the problem and what a build would involve before you commit. Part of our job is to make the technical choices understandable, so you know what you're agreeing to and why.
