## About

```text
At Team Internet, I took a greenfield AI content platform from an empty repo to production, serving five tenants and publishing 100K+ articles across 100+ websites. I built its Rails CMS on an event-driven AWS architecture using Bedrock and OpenAI.

I developed a RAG-grounded compliance validation layer for GDPR, the EU AI Act, and Google Ads partner policy, removing manual review from the publishing pipeline. I also created a prompt optimization system that cut per-article generation cost by 50%+.

At Team Internet, I engineered a TypeScript tracking service handling 100K+ RPM over 1TB of data, along with a continuous compliance checker; these services achieved 99.9% uptime. I owned cloud infrastructure through AWS CDK, including CI/CD and monitoring.

Previously, at Wando, I built authorization systems and an event-driven automation engine. At Profitero, I led a transition to TDD and CI/CD, and at Ikantam, I built an A/B testing framework that lifted checkout completion by 15%.
