Hi, I’m Sam Keen. At AlteredCraft, I help developers do more than just keep up with AI’s rapid changes in software, I help you thrive. The Delta Notes[1] weekly posts cover what’s shifting now, and my deep dives break down what these changes mean for your work, so you can adapt with confidence.
I bring over 25 years in software and tech leadership, from startups to Lululemon, Nike, and AWS. My focus: cutting through the noise to offer real value and actionable advice.
