Agentic Squad: modeling the SDLC with agents, contracts, and continuous learning

A practical way to organize AI agents around the real stages of software development — without pretending autonomy replaces engineering.

Agentic Squad is an experimental architecture for coordinating agents, context, rules, and continuous learning across the SDLC. The goal isn't a magical AI team, but a governable system for discovery, specification, architecture, implementation, quality, and learning.

What I write about

Engineering notes that age well.

Technical, practical, honest writing — meant to outlast a single hype cycle.

Architecture

Decisions, trade-offs, and systems that respect teams and change.

Systems that last

Maintainability, clarity, and long-term engineering.

Applied AI

AI-assisted development and agentic workflows in real work.

Open source

Libraries, experiments, and contributions shaped by practice.

Technical career

Seniority, technical judgment, and sustainable growth.

Technical education

Careful explanations, from concept to implementation.

What I build

Engineering tools and projects.

Personal and open-source projects, and the Polaris initiative — always subordinate to the personal brand.

Open source

Libraries, experiments, and contributions shaped by engineering practice.

Polaris

A connected initiative of developer tools and workflows. Documentation and tracks are in progress.
