About

I'm a product-minded engineer who ships software on cloud platforms, with a focus on AI-enabled workflows and the integrations that make them useful.

I like turning a vague operational problem into something running in production: scoping it with the people who feel it, building it, and staying close enough to see whether it worked.

What I bring

  • End-to-end delivery. Requirements through production, including automations that cut multi-day document processing to minutes.
  • AI agents with guardrails. Agent workflow design, MCP integrations, and the security and governance reviews that decide whether they ever reach users.
  • Integration and platform work. API design with vendors, payment and financial systems, and CI/CD automation.
  • Customer discovery and communication. Interviews, roadmaps, and clear updates for technical and executive audiences.

Why this site

I love to learn, and the knowledge that sticks is the kind I apply. Building turns what I read into working systems, and that hands-on experience is where the real value comes from. Writing up each project's decisions, tradeoffs, and mistakes also sharpens how I explain architecture to technical and non-technical audiences. The site itself is the first project: serverless on AWS, defined in code, and deployed without stored credentials.
