Helping developers and teams harness AI tools in their workflows. Custom consultation, hands-on guidance, and real-world implementation.
The landscape has shifted.
AI tools like Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, and agentic workflows are transforming how we build software. But most developers are either ignoring these tools entirely or using them at 10% capacity. And most teams have no idea how to integrate AI into their existing workflows without creating chaos.
I've spent the last year rebuilding my entire development practice around AI-assisted coding. I use Claude Code to architect systems, write implementations, and manage infrastructure. I've migrated legacy codebases, built serverless stacks, and automated workflows that used to take days. This isn't theory—it's my daily practice.

AI Tool Integration for Developers
You know AI coding tools exist, but you're not sure how to actually use them effectively. I help developers and teams integrate tools like Claude Code, Copilot, and Cursor into their workflows. Not just "how to prompt"—but how to architect your codebase, structure your projects, and think about development differently when you have an AI partner.
Agentic Development Workflows
The future isn't just AI-assisted coding—it's agentic coding. I help you set up workflows where AI handles implementation while you focus on architecture and review. This includes setting up Claude Code for complex multi-file changes, building custom tooling, and creating development patterns that maximize AI leverage.
Legacy Codebase Modernization
Got a messy codebase that nobody wants to touch? AI excels at understanding and refactoring legacy code. I help teams use AI to document, refactor, and modernize codebases that would otherwise require months of manual work. The AI reads the spaghetti so your developers don't have to.
Custom Web Development
If your project catches my interest, I take on select web development work. Static sites, serverless architectures, Cloudflare Workers, API integrations—the modern stack. I build fast, lightweight systems that don't require constant maintenance. No WordPress, no bloated frameworks. Just clean, efficient code.
You're probably a good fit if:
I work primarily through written communication and async collaboration. This produces better technical outcomes and allows for precise, documented guidance you can reference later.
Common use cases:
1. Initial Contact
Email Victoria with your situation—what you're trying to accomplish, what tools you're currently using (if any), and what's blocking you. She'll coordinate with me to assess the project.
2. Technical Assessment
I review your current setup, codebase (if relevant), and goals. I identify the highest-leverage intervention points and determine if I can actually help.
3. Engagement
Depending on your needs: consultation sessions, hands-on implementation guidance, or direct development work. Everything documented so you have reference material.
4. Ongoing Support (Optional)
Some clients need a single consultation. Others want ongoing advisory as they implement. I'm flexible on format—what matters is results.

Do you do full-time development work?
Selectively. I take on projects that interest me or align with my expertise in AI-assisted development. If you have a straightforward WordPress site or basic web work, I'm probably not the right fit. If you have something technically interesting or want to build with modern AI-assisted practices, let's talk.
What technologies do you work with?
Modern web stack: HTML/CSS/JavaScript, static site generators, Cloudflare (Pages, Workers, R2), serverless architectures, Git-based workflows. For AI tools: Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, and custom agentic setups. I avoid bloated frameworks and prefer clean, maintainable code.
Can you train my team on AI tools?
Yes. I help teams establish consistent practices for AI-assisted development. This includes tool selection, workflow design, prompt engineering for code, and review processes. Written documentation and async training work better than live sessions for technical material.
What's your background?
25+ years in web development. I've built and run multiple online businesses (HawaiiGuide, GardenandBloom, GroveTop). The last year has been focused on AI-assisted development—I've rebuilt my entire practice around these tools. I write about this regularly in The Logs.
How is this different from your Consulting page?
The Consulting page focuses on operational AI integration for small business owners—automating workflows, building systems, scaling operations. This page is specifically for developers and technical teams who want to integrate AI into their coding practice, or who need custom web development work.
