About Daniel

External CTO and AI consultant: I scope your AI use cases and deliver quickly, without sacrificing quality.

20 years of product/tech experience (including over 3 years at L'Orรฉal as a cross-service tech lead) augmented by an AI-driven development system of my own design (Clever Spec, agentic pipeline built on the SAM pattern). This system allows me to cover a scope normally handled by a team of 4-5 people on my own: architecture, specifications, backend, frontend, testing, documentation, and deployment.

WHY IT'S DIFFERENT FROM "VIBE CODING"

Vibe coding is fast but produces disposable code. My approach maintains velocity while applying enterprise standards: spec-driven, TDD, automated and E2E tests, structured sprints. The result: production-ready, scalable, and long-term auditable applications.

WHAT I DO CONCRETELY

โ†’ AI Use Case Scoping: Identify where AI truly offers ROI and prioritize projects.
โ†’ External CTO / Fractional CPTO: Full technical leadership without hiring a dedicated team.
โ†’ Tech Proxy PO / Senior Full-Stack Tech Lead: Reinforcement to unblock an existing roadmap.
โ†’ Agentic Delivery: Implement AI-assisted development pipelines within your teams.

RECENT RESULTS

- Multi-tenant back office and admin delivered in 5 weeks (squad equivalent: 5 months).
- Stripe account synchronization SaaS delivered in 2.5 weeks (equivalent: 3 months).
- Complete redesign + DB migration in production in 27 days (equivalent: 3 months).

FOR WHOM

- You want to scope one or more AI use cases before investing.
- You have a new product to launch without building a dedicated team.
- You've tried vibe coding and are looking for something more robust.

    Guiding a Product Owner from vibe coding to enterprise-grade delivery

    ๐—ฆ๐—ถ๐˜๐˜‚๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป

    A Product Owner had just discovered AI-assisted development ("vibe coding"). He'd already grasped the key point โ€” his technical teams could never match that pace โ€” but ran into two walls: instability during development and security exposure.

    ๐—ง๐—ฎ๐˜€๐—ธ

    Preserve the velocity of AI-driven development while restoring the rigor and security his organization required, and give him something he could take to his managing director covering his entire application portfolio.

    ๐—”๐—ฐ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป

    Two fronts. On method, I walked him through applicable SDLC practices and coached him to get more out of Claude โ€” segmenting the work, documenting it, versioning it. On diagnosis, I reverse-specified his codebase and produced a security report using Jared, my agentic pipeline: 467 reverse-engineered functional and business specifications and 997 code-to-spec links โ€” the analytical backbone behind my Clever Spec offering.

    ๐—ฅ๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜‚๐—น๐˜

    A professional security report (SOC 1 / SOC 2, OWASP), an exhaustive specification of the existing work, and a strong professionalization of what had started as a purely vibe-coded experience โ€” delivered as a portfolio-wide plan ready to present to his DG.
