I've built a complete, end-to-end AI-assisted development pipeline — Claude for architecture and project management, Claude Code in VS Code for autonomous code execution — that covers every phase of a project from requirements through release. 35+ years of engineering judgment. 20+ years of P&C insurance domain expertise. Senior delivery at a velocity that used to require a full team.
I'm a senior full-stack web application developer with 35+ years of experience — from COBOL on a DEC VAX 11-750 through .NET 8 / Blazor on AWS EC2. The through line across all of it: building business software that real users depend on, day in and day out.
For over 20 of those years, my world was P&C insurance — policy administration, claims management, underwriting systems, TPA integrations, Lloyd's market data feeds. I built those systems from scratch, owned them end to end, and worked directly with underwriters, claims administrators, and program managers who depended on them.
Today, through Quarry Consulting LLC, I bring that foundation together with an end-to-end AI-assisted development pipeline — Claude for architecture and project management, Claude Code in VS Code for autonomous code execution. The experience doesn't go away — it directs the AI. The result: senior consulting delivery at a velocity that used to require a full team, with documentation discipline most teams never reach.
Not every engagement starts the same way. Whether you need ongoing development capacity, a defined project delivered end-to-end, or simply want a professional project plan before making a commitment — there's a path that fits exactly where you are right now.
Retained senior developer capacity on an hourly or monthly contract. You get an experienced developer who knows your codebase and your business — without the overhead of a full-time hire.
Defined scope, defined deliverables, defined timeline. Ideal for greenfield builds, platform launches, or modernization projects. Full SDLC management included — not just code.
Not ready to commit to a full engagement? For a flat fee, I'll gather your requirements, produce a professional project plan with LOE estimates and sprint schedule, and deliver a proposal you can evaluate — or take anywhere.
You cannot prompt an AI agent to build a policy administration system for a specialty P&C carrier, or a claims platform for a complex TPA. Not because the AI can't write code.
What it cannot do is know the business. The regulatory history. The edge cases that only surface when a claims adjuster in Tulsa tries to process coverage your system didn't anticipate. The requirements that are actually three conflicting requirements dressed as one.
That knowledge lives in the developer. What AI eliminates is the mechanical overhead — the boilerplate, the scaffolding, the documentation nobody had time to write. That's the part that used to require a team.
Combine 35+ years of engineering judgment, 20 years of P&C domain depth, and a working AI pipeline, and you get something the market hasn't seen before: senior delivery at a velocity that used to require a full team.
"The most interesting opportunities in insurance aren't in the obvious places — they're in the gaps no one else is solving. The challenge isn't finding the gap. It's having someone who can build fast enough to capture it before the market closes."

Claude drives project management and architecture. Claude Code executes in VS Code — reading your codebase, reasoning across files, and executing multi-step development tasks autonomously. Every phase documented, versioned, and audit-ready.
| Phase | Claude Produces | Claude Code Executes | Senior Judgment Owns |
|---|---|---|---|
| Requirements | RVTM, use cases, epics, user stories | — | Business knowledge, stakeholder translation |
| Sprint Planning | Backlog, sprint schedule, DT tasks, LOE estimates | — | Architecture decisions, sequencing, risk |
| Code Generation | Precision execution prompts per task | Full feature code via Claude Code in VS Code | Prompt engineering, output review, approval |
| Git / DevOps | Branch strategy, PR descriptions, commit standards | Applied to Bitbucket / GitHub via Claude Code | Merge decisions, release gates |
| Testing | Code review scripts, functional test scripts | — | QA oversight, defect triage |
| Documentation | Completion summaries, ADRs, canonical file updates | — | Accuracy, compliance, retention standards |
A new Splunk log-ingestion integration into the application's audit-trail subsystem. Independent senior estimate: 1.5 weeks, full SDLC.
Delivered through the AI-assisted SDLC pipeline — Claude for the architecture artifact and precision execution prompts, Claude Code for the implementation — in approximately two hours. Architecture, code, tests, and the documentation. Same quality bar.
The compression isn't magic. It's that the senior judgment goes upstream — into the design and the prompts — and the mechanical work goes to the agent.
I didn't learn P&C insurance from a product spec. I spent over two decades building the systems that carriers, MGAs, TPAs, and program administrators actually run — from scratch, working directly with underwriters, claims administrators, program managers, and the Lloyd's market.
I know what a bordereaux is and why it matters to a capacity provider. I know the difference between what an underwriter says they want and what they actually need. I can sit with your business team and translate domain requirements into working software without a translator.
That combination — senior developer, deep domain knowledge, working AI pipeline — is extraordinarily rare in this market.
