Bogdan Novosad

Staff Software Engineer · Agentic development · Go, Rust, C#/.NET

I help engineering teams move to agentic development: agents write the code, engineers decide what to build and check that it is right.

I did this at my company, on a learning management platform used by schools across Europe: I designed the shared multi-agent workflow, write all my own code through it and teach it to other engineers in seminars. With the same approach I build and ship my own products in Go and Rust.

I have 13 years of experience in backend systems, SaaS products and developer tooling. Open to Senior/Staff roles, full-time or B2B contract. Remote in Europe, or on site after relocating to Madrid or Barcelona.

01How I ship with agents

One agent keeps the plan, every file has one writer, a fresh reviewer checks the result, and a person decides what ships.

  1. 1

    Research

    Agents pull the ticket, docs and code context from Jira, Confluence and GitLab over MCP.

  2. 2

    Plan

    The main agent plans and keeps the decisions. An architecture role reads the plan once, before a risky stage.

  3. 3

    Write

    One writer per set of files. Parallel writers only on parts that do not overlap.

  4. 4

    Review and verify

    An agent that has not seen the reasoning reviews the final diff. Builds and Playwright tests run on a cheaper model.

  5. 5

    Approve

    Nothing is pushed, merged or changed in Jira without explicit human approval. I review every change.

03Writing

    Where the tokens went: rules of thumb for an agentic workflow

    I measured 25 of my own agent sessions. The main agent re-reading its own history was the largest cost, eight independent reviews were 6% of the bill, and my first count was wrong by a quarter.
