The Inner Loop
Moving teams from vibe coding to Hypervelocity Engineering — balancing system rigor with agentic orchestration.
The Hypervelocity Engineering Series
A framework for bringing AI into the core of how engineering teams work — not just what they build.
About
I'm Mike Lanzetta — a Principal Architect at Microsoft ISE based in Tokyo, where I lead data science discipline for North Asia. I work with enterprise customers to design and ship AI-native systems, from classical ML to agentic architectures.
After 20+ years shipping software at Amazon, Microsoft, and startups, I started writing about the fundamental shift happening in how engineering teams work with AI. The result is Hypervelocity Engineering — a framework my team developed for integrating AI into the engineering inner loop without sacrificing rigor.
This site and my Substack document what I'm learning along the way.

New articles on AI-native engineering, agentic workflows, and building teams that ship.
