About
I help software engineers and tech leads integrate AI coding agents like Claude Code and Cursor into real-world codebases, building reliable workflows around test-first development, code quality, and independent review.
I build and maintain my own company's software using these tools every day, applying a written, test-first engineering protocol to agentic development. My workflows include custom agent skills, subagents, MCP integrations, automated quality gates, and independent review of AI-generated code.
Previously, I spent over six years at PTC Vuforia building computer vision and augmented reality algorithms, following a PhD in Computer Vision at UCL.
We'll start by understanding your current development workflow, codebase, and goals. From there, we'll work on integrating Claude Code or Cursor into your engineering practice.
You'll learn how to establish test-first workflows, maintain code quality, review AI-generated output independently, and identify where AI agents genuinely improve your productivity.
The goal is not just to get an agent running. It's to help you develop a reliable workflow that you understand, control, and can continue improving independently.

What happens when you start
You tell Dr. Marcel your goals. They see exactly what you want to work on before session one.
You meet within days. Dr. Marcel reviews your application and books your first session, usually within a day or two.
You leave with a plan. Concrete next steps and a weekly rhythm from your very first week.
