AI Strategy • Engineering Leadership • Applied Research
I’m Scott Josephson, an AI leader, software engineer, author of Tickets Don’t Compile, creator of the specddkit PyPI library, and PhD student in Artificial Intelligence. I help organizations design, govern, and ship practical AI systems across healthcare, life sciences, enterprise platforms, and emerging agentic workflows.
Latest Book
A practitioner’s guide to spec-driven development for product managers, engineers, and AI coding agents. The book frames how clear specifications reduce rework and help AI-assisted teams turn intent into implementation-ready software.

My work sits at the intersection of AI strategy, enterprise architecture, applied research, and product execution. I have spent decades building software systems and the last decade concentrating on applied AI, including generative AI, clinical NLP, reasoning systems, semantic technologies, and production AI workflows.
I bring a practical builder’s orientation to AI leadership: aligning the use case, risk model, data architecture, evaluation approach, governance structure, and delivery plan before scaling. The result is AI that is not merely impressive in a demo, but usable, measurable, and maintainable in real operating environments.

Research & Writing
My writing and research connect AI theory, engineering discipline, and practical delivery. Current interests include LLMs, prompt engineering, retrieval-augmented generation, music source separation, agentic software workflows, and AI governance.
“The strongest AI teams do more than adopt new models. They create a repeatable operating system for turning business intent, domain knowledge, data, and evaluation into governed software.”
