About

I've spent 20 years in product and consulting, starting in design and working through engineering into leadership. The constant has been a pull toward hard problems and a belief that the right experience can untangle them. Lately I care most about the people I work with, and about building tools that connect a team, take the friction out of their day, and let them do the best work of their careers. That's what I'm doing at Plastr, and it's why I built FlyDocs.

AI sped up your code, but it exposed how broken everything else was.

AI didn't slow your team down. Misalignment and lack of visibility did. AI just exposed it.
We spent the last two years doing agentic engineering work across our own teams and clients. Same thing kept happening: code was moving fast, everything around it wasn't. Docs weeks behind. Tickets missing. Leadership asking what was shipping and getting answers that depended on someone remembering to update the board. Speed up one layer of the system and every gap compounds fast: the more code ships, the less of that speed survives.  We built FlyDocs to close those gaps.
It runs inside your existing AI coding workflow, connecting your editor to Linear or Jira without changing how developers work. You define your team's standards once, and every AI session inherits them. When an agent does the work, it opens the issue, moves it through your workflow, and updates the board on its own. The lead watches the card cross the board in real time while the dev is still in the editor.
We're launching on Product Hunt tomorrow. If you're shipping with AI-assisted development and this sounds familiar, follow us on PH to get notified when we go live: Launch Page
Happy to answer questions in the comments, what part of this breaks down first on your team?

FlyDocs - Team alignment. Real-time visibility. Built for AI speed.

AI made your developers fast, FlyDocs brings the rest of your team up to speed. FlyDocs isn't a coding agent or a PM tool, it's the bridge that connects Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf and Codex to Linear and Jira, enforcing standards your agents can’t skip. Every AI session follows your team's rules, your tickets auto-update as you go, and leads always know what's shipping. When your team is aligned and your leads have real visibility, the speed your AI tools unlocked actually goes somewhere.
