Steve Harlow

Engineering leader, author, and builder of tools that test whether software is wanted before it gets built.

Thirty years leading software and engineering organizations across consumer platforms, avionics, and regulated-industry systems. I write about AI leadership in The Foreign Mind and publish open-source tooling for keeping AI coding assistants under control. These days I build small products and run demand tests on them before writing more code.
