Rewiring Software Delivery shows technology leaders how to move beyond AI tool adoption and redesign the operating model for agentic engineering. It introduces practical ways to govern autonomous execution, strengthen intent, separate generation from validation, and build a delivery system that turns AI activity into durable business advantage.

What if learning Kubernetes felt like reading a story instead of a manual? Follow three engineers as they grow from a crashing monolith to a production-grade Kubernetes platform. Every concept taught through real problems, real YAML, and real solutions.

Most AI systems can talk, but few can actually do. This book shows you how to build AI agents that reliably use tools, call APIs and automate real workflows. Using DSPy, Pydantic AI, the Claude Agent SDK, the OpenAI Agents SDK and Google ADK, you'll learn practical patterns for building reliable agents that work in production.

Stop reading dry atomic physics textbooks and start driving a live nuclear reactor from your browser. From Grid to Core takes a reverse-engineering approach designed for software, control, and electrical engineers, walking you upstream from the familiar 400 kV switchyard straight into the nuclear core.

The product playbooks built for Silicon Valley break the moment the internet drops, the currency crashes, or the regulator rewrites the rules at midnight. This book provides the alternative: a battle-tested system for building products that thrive under uncertainty, drawn from real experience across Africa, Southeast Asia, and Latin America. If you build products in the real world, this is your field guide.
