About
About Me
I lead technical strategy and delivery for enterprise-scale platforms, defining system architecture and guiding cross-functional teams to ship production-grade solutions. My focus spans AI-powered systems (RAG, Azure OpenAI, AWS Bedrock), modern web platforms, and cloud-native architectures that serve global brands including Walmart, PetSmart, Snapple, VW, and Almonds.com.
Through hands-on engineering and mentorship, I bridge technical execution with business outcomes, from architecting CMS platforms and AI tools to leading sprint planning and architectural reviews. I partner closely with design, UX, strategy, and client stakeholders to align technical decisions with strategic goals.
