I'm Julian, a software engineer with 15 years' experience, 10 of them building video streaming platforms for Sky, ITV, DAZN and Peacock. These days AI agents write most of my code and I do the architecture. I write about spec-driven development, agentic harnesses, and taking AI-built apps from demo to production.
