Buttoned → myLocal: platform evolution How I work with AI agents

Leadership grounded in hands-on engineering.

My experience spans high-volume production systems, technical leadership across teams, and building new SaaS products. I stay close to the implementation so architecture decisions hold up in delivery and operations.

Today, that includes using AI agents with clear context, scoped tasks, testing, and human review.
