AI consulting and interview prep
Two ways I help you get ready
I am Patrick MacDowell. I get engineering teams ready to work with AI agents, and I coach people through the interviews that decide their careers. One operator, no hype, real work.

Two tracks, one operator
Whether you run a team or you are between roles, the work is the same: cut the guesswork, get ready, move.
AI agent readiness consulting
I audit your repository against six pillars of agent readiness and hand back a prioritized roadmap and one honest score. One repo, one fixed price. The full method lives at agentreadiness.ai.
Interview preparation
Mock interviews, resume review, and blunt feedback for the interviews that move your career. The same coaching I give engineers, aimed at your next offer. See it on the Tech Thaumaturge site.
Why work with me
I have spent years shipping software across every layer, from mobile apps to backend systems, and the last stretch getting real teams productive with AI agents instead of just talking about it. I do not sell hype or dashboards you will never open. I read your code, tell you the truth, and give you a plan you can act on Monday. The same honesty goes into interview coaching: what is working, what is not, and what to do next.
Not sure which track is yours?
Book a short call. We will figure out whether it is the audit, the coaching, or something else, and you will leave with a next step either way.
