Biography

What I Do

Neil CammGet in touch
Product Engineer

I build web products end to end, using AI-native workflows to ship them.

I'm a product-minded senior engineer with 15+ years building web applications, from consumer sites to enterprise platforms. For ten years at Cardinal Financial, a top-25 U.S. mortgage lender, I led full-stack engineering, growing to eight engineers across two teams while staying hands-on in the code.

I build with AI agents every day, using my own orchestration around specs, task queues and human review. I'm most interested in roles where I can help teams use AI in practical ways, inside the product and in how engineers work.

My agent orchestration tooling worked well enough for ten months, which is exactly why I never rebuilt it. Preparing an interview demo made me ask whether I'd build it the same way today. I wouldn't.

AI

The Whiteboard Defense

AI can write code faster than ever, but speed doesn't replace understanding. As engineers, we still need to explain why decisions were made, how our systems handle risk, and where they can fail. The agents may write the code, but the responsibility for what we ship stays with us.
