Consulting

Architecture and engineering guidance for teams building serious software, especially the kind AI is helping write.

Overview


Michael Marquez works with teams on architecture, security, and engineering discipline, drawing on three decades of production experience and the systems built at Crumby Labs, including Bitcrumb and Tapin Wallet. That includes helping teams think clearly about where AI-assisted development helps and where it needs a human decision in front of it, the same case made in AI Is Not Your Architect.
