Helping engineering organizations adopt Cursor at scale

Practitioner-level expertise in Composer, custom skills like feedback-resolver and gsd-turbo, and multi-agent workflows — paired with the advisory experience to help enterprise teams ship faster and trust the tools.

About

I help engineering organizations move from AI curiosity to measurable developer velocity — with Cursor as the center of gravity, not a side experiment.

My work sits at the intersection of deep hands-on product expertise and strategic advisory. At Teton Web, I lead platform engineering and client-facing technical strategy — shipping production systems while helping teams adopt AI-assisted development responsibly and at scale. I've pushed advanced Cursor workflows into daily practice: custom Composer skills like feedback-resolver and gsd-turbo, plus multi-agent pipelines that turn ambiguous work into shipped code.

I'm exploring a Field CTO path at Cursor because it's where my practitioner depth and customer-facing instincts converge. I operate at both levels — roadmap with a VP Engineering in the morning, debug sub-agent orchestration in the afternoon — and I care about outcomes teams can trust, not demo-day theater.

Expertise

What I'd bring to a customer-facing role at Cursor — grounded in production work, not slide decks.

Advanced Cursor & AI Agent Development

Custom Composer skills I've authored — including feedback-resolver (production feedback → verified fix) and gsd-turbo (parallel Linear issue execution) — plus sub-agent orchestration that mirrors how sophisticated teams actually ship.

AI Adoption Strategy & Rollouts

Playbooks for rolling out AI coding tools across engineering orgs: standards, guardrails, enablement, and the metrics leaders need to justify the investment.

Technical Architecture & Platform Leadership

Modern full-stack delivery with Next.js, Convex, and real-time systems — the credibility to advise architects and platform teams without hand-waving.

Customer Advisory & Influence

Trusted partner to founders and engineering leaders — translating product capability into strategy, rollout plans, and confident buying decisions.

Selected work

Proof points from production work — AI adoption, platform delivery, and the kind of outcomes I'd bring to a customer-facing role at Cursor.

Ore-Max

Production feedback loop powered by a custom Cursor skill

Case Study

Problem: Production user feedback was piling up faster than the team could triage, diagnose, and ship fixes — creating backlog risk and slower response times.

Approach: Built feedback-resolver, a custom Composer skill that closes the loop from production ticket to verified fix. It fetches unresolved feedback from the live database, tracks work in Linear, reproduces issues locally, implements fixes with browser verification, and prepares merge-ready commits with full traceability.

Outcome: Reduced time from feedback to fix candidate from days to hours. Established a repeatable, AI-native maintenance pattern that leadership could trust in production — the kind of workflow I'd teach enterprise teams adopting Cursor.

Kectil

Real-time platform at organizational scale

Case Study

Problem: A growing product needed a modern, performant web platform with real-time capabilities and a foundation that could evolve without costly rewrites.

Approach: Led architecture and delivery using Next.js, Convex, and Vercel — with AI-assisted development workflows accelerating feature delivery while maintaining strict type safety and code quality standards.

Outcome: Shipped a production-grade platform with reactive data, clear module boundaries, and a delivery cadence that scaled with product complexity — demonstrating how AI tools amplify disciplined engineering rather than replace it.

InventRight / Gateway Match

Complex matching logic, shipped with AI velocity

Case Study

Problem: A sophisticated matching and workflow product required intricate business logic, strong UX, and reliable delivery across a distributed stakeholder group.

Approach: Applied Cursor-first development with structured agent workflows — breaking large features into verifiable slices, using multi-step agent orchestration for implementation, and maintaining human review at architectural decision points.

Outcome: Delivered complex product capabilities on aggressive timelines while keeping code reviewable and maintainable — a model directly applicable to customer-facing Field CTO engagements.

Internal AI Systems

Custom skills, sub-agents, and org-wide velocity

Case Study

Problem: Engineering throughput across multiple client projects needed a step-change — not from hiring alone, but from better tooling, orchestration, and adoption patterns.

Approach: Designed and operationalized internal AI systems including gsd-turbo (autonomous Linear issue execution in isolated worktrees), feedback-resolver (production feedback → verified fix pipeline), and multi-agent workflows for exploration, implementation, and verification.

Outcome: Meaningfully increased developer velocity across the portfolio, with documented Composer skills and workflows teams could adopt incrementally — the same playbook I'd bring to organizations evaluating AI coding tools at scale.

Resume
