About Me
Two decades of building, leading, and shipping software — from geospatial platforms to cloud infrastructure at scale. Since 2019, I've been integrating AI into production systems, building AI agents, and continuously evaluating emerging models and tools to deliver real business value. I believe we're entering an era of abundance, where AI amplifies human potential across every industry. I'm here to help organizations navigate that transformation — bridging the gap between cutting-edge AI capabilities and the engineering discipline needed to deploy them reliably.
