AGENTIC CODING and WORKFLOWS:
One Day Immersive Workshop

This is a workshop that I’ve delivered both for corporate clients, and to public cohorts on Maven; here’s a related free 30 min Lightning Lesson on agentic coding from July, and another on agentic workflows from August. Check Maven to see if there’s a cohort coming up, or feel free to contact me directly. Thanks!

Case Study and Deep Dive:
Telemedicine Agent with LangGraph/MCP

This is a workshop I presented at the AI Engineer World’s Fair 2025 in San Francisco — so proud of the system we built, many thanks to Stride and Avila for the opportunity.

Perspectives

There’s no one right way to do product, or build software, or use AI. But here’s a few examples of how I think about those things.  

AI ENGINEERING

The Walls Are Coming Down

It had been years since I shipped code, but with AI I’ve gotten myself back in the game.  AI tools make it possible to create in ways I couldn’t have imagined a couple of years ago.

PRODUCT MANAGEMENT

Product + AI = SOMETHING NEW?

There is no harder, more exposed job in technology than product management.  AI is going to completely change it.

Panel Discussion

The FUTURE OF PRODUCT MANAGEMENT

This was a lot of fun — I really don’t think of myself as a product manager any more, but I still strongly identify with the product perspective. Great discussion on where things might be headed.

about me

I’m Dan.  I’ve been building digital products (and product teams) for a long, long time.  The details are on LinkedIn, along with some hopefully provocative thoughts on AI, software, teamwork, and culture (mostly corporate, occasionally not).

A few non-professional facts:
• My wife and I have three teenagers — Julia, Parker and Sara Jane — hence the JPSJ.
• I passed the Jeopardy test but they’re never going to pick me.  I think there were three other suburban NJ dads on the same audition Zoom.
• I make wine, beer, hot sauce etc.  The wine is terrible but it served us honorably during Sandy (when the liquor stores were closed), and it cooks really well.   
• I am a long suffering DC sports fan — I tried to adopt the Jets for a while just to make things worse. There are signs of life, but hope is how they get you…

Please don’t hesitate to reach out just to connect, or if you’re interested in working together.  Thanks!
