Restructure Your
Engineering Team
Around AI Agents

I managed 30 engineers at Pagaya. Today I'd do the same work with 12 and a fleet of AI agents. In this intensive workshop, I'll show your engineering leadership exactly how to make that transition.

The adoption gap is where all the value is

Everyone adopted AI tools. Almost nobody changed how their teams actually work. That gap is costing you speed, money, and talent.

84%

of developers use AI tools

25%

of companies see actual ROI

21%

faster task completion (Google study)

50-60%

potential cost reduction

Giving your team AI tools without changing how they work is like buying a Formula 1 car and only using it to listen to the radio.The problem isn't the tools. It's the workflows.

The Program

Two days that change how your team ships

Day 1 builds the strategic framework. Day 2 implements it on your actual codebase.

1

Strategy & Architecture

Understand where you are and where you need to go

Morning

The AI-Native Operating Model

  • Why 84% of companies use AI tools but only 25% see ROI
  • The difference between 'using AI' and 'being AI-native'
  • How McKinsey restructured 45,000 people around 25,000 AI agents
  • Mapping your current workflows to identify agent-ready tasks
Afternoon

Team Architecture Workshop

  • Redesigning team structure for human-agent collaboration
  • Defining which roles become 'agent orchestrators'
  • Building specs that both humans and agents can execute
  • Handling the junior engineer pipeline in an AI-native world
2

Hands-On Implementation

Build real agent workflows with your actual codebase

Morning

Agent Workflow Design

  • Setting up multi-agent development environments
  • Writing effective agent prompts and specifications
  • Code review workflows with AI-generated PRs
  • Testing and quality assurance with agents
Afternoon

Your Team's Pilot Project

  • Hands-on implementation using your real codebase
  • Building your first compounding engineering workflow
  • Measuring output and setting team KPIs
  • 30-60-90 day implementation roadmap

What you walk away with

Redesigned team structure for AI-native workflows
At least one working agent workflow on your codebase
30-60-90 day implementation roadmap
Agent specification and review process templates
KPI framework for measuring AI-augmented productivity
Clear guidance on the junior engineer role in AI teams

This workshop is built for

Series A-C Startups (50-200 people)

Big enough to have real workflow problems, small enough to actually implement changes fast.

Engineering Teams Using AI Tools

You bought Copilot licenses but nothing really changed. Output is the same, just with a new tool in the stack.

Leaders Asking 'What Now?'

You know AI agents are the future but you don't know where to start restructuring your team around them.

Teams Feeling the Talent Pressure

Junior positions being cut, senior engineers reviewing AI-generated code, and no clear playbook for the transition.

Pricing

Invest in your team's operating model

A 12-person team with AI agents can ship at the pace of 30. The workshop pays for itself within weeks.

Workshop

From $8,000

2-day engagement

Workshop + Implementation

From $18,000

2 days + 4 weeks

Everything in the Workshop, plus 4 weeks of embedded support to make sure the transformation actually sticks.

  • Everything in Workshop tier
  • 4 weekly implementation calls
  • Async Slack/Teams support
  • Review of agent implementations
  • KPI tracking and adjustment
  • Leadership progress reports
Early Adopter Deal

Pilot Workshops

50% Off

Limited to 3 spots

I'm offering my first 3 workshops at half price in exchange for a detailed case study and testimonial. Same full program, same deliverables.

  • Full Workshop experience at 50% off
  • All deliverables included
  • In exchange for testimonial + case study
  • Perfect for early adopters
  • Only 3 pilot spots available

Quick ROI math: A startup with 10 engineers paying $8K total is spending $800/person. If an employee making $80K a year saves just 2 hours a week through better workflows, that's $4,000/year per person. The workshop pays for itself in weeks, not months.

Your workshop facilitator

I'm an engineering leader who has spent 13+ years at the intersection of data platforms, AI, and team building. At Pagaya (a US-listed fintech), I built and led 30+ engineers across data engineering, BI, and research infrastructure teams. Today, I help engineering teams restructure around AI agents - not by teaching them how to prompt, but by redesigning their operating model.

Built and led data engineering & BI groups at Pagaya, covering ingestion, modeling, and research infra.

Drove Snowflake migration and cost-optimization programs with minimal disruption to reporting.

Hands-on with AI agent workflows: multi-agent development environments, code review with AI-generated PRs.

Active in the ecosystem as IEEE Israel Young Professionals Chair and IEEE Computer Society Vice-Chair.

I use this mix of engineering leadership, hands-on AI agent experience, and team management to design workshops that actually change how your team works - not just how individual engineers prompt.
