I build production AI and microservice platforms, from RAG workflows to reliable cloud-native systems.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
At GitHub, I lead architecture for Python microservices supporting AI-enabled workflows, including RAG services, vector databases, agent orchestration, tool calling, and structured outputs.
I build reusable platform components that standardize API integrations, validation, observability, and dependable production delivery. I also establish CI/CD pipelines, optimize PostgreSQL workloads, and migrate containerized services across AWS and Kubernetes.
Previously, I developed distributed business applications at Specialized Bicycle Components and production insurance services at Corvus Insurance, improving API integrations, database performance, cloud deployments, monitoring, and security practices.
My foundation includes eight years building full-stack university applications at the University of New Hampshire. I bring fifteen years of experience translating architecture, operational data, and production incidents into practical decisions for engineering, product, and business stakeholders.
