About

Most AI-Generated Code Is Average — Here’s the Real Solution
I have reviewed over 400 GenAi applications to find why they failed and here is what I found.

1. Third party "agentic tools" like LangChain, LlamaIndex, and CrewAI may get you off to a fast start but end up eventually not being able to handle production systems.
2. Vibe coding will eventually bit you no matter how careful you are.
3. I discovered a way to build GenAi applications fast and in a way so that they are robust and secure.

This system is a result of spending over 16 years building high performance systems for Fortune 500 companies like Google, Bank of America, Genworth followed by 5 years of building successful startups, with my latest startup Quizitive.ai bing my third successful exit.
In addition to consulting I write books on ai and building ai startups and work with small team of GenAI development specialists who are trained in my system to implement.

I live with my wife and 2 dogs and we love to travel in South East Asia

I am looking for a few people to are starting thier journey in GenAI and confused by the number of options available. GenAI got off on the wrong foot, only 5% of GenAI products created value according to MIT Labs. This can be turned around by combining GenAI with solid engineering principles. Click on the button to setup a free call and I will outline how your GenAI project can be one of the successful projects.

It’s been a great journey working with Tim. He has broadened my horizons and helped me gain clarity and direction in my career. He’s also a great listener who genuinely understands my perspective and always gives thoughtful advice, whether it’s on technical matters or soft skills. It would be great to have him as a mentor.

Tim is a great mentor to work on an action plan towards solving all problems in tech and AI. His technical understanding allows for in depth discussions and his solutions are on-point. His business acumen with the technical understanding makes solutions feasible. He is authentic and honest in his approach which I valued the most, makes every conversation very comfortable and is a great listener. I hope to continue learning from him
