AI agent engineer at Atlan who shipped Migration Studio to production and built agents evaluated with traced runs and benchmarked results.

Message

At Atlan, I design, build, and ship AI agents for enterprise systems, with people approving changes and results measured. I led Migration Studio to production, an AI-assisted product that moves business context from legacy catalogs into Atlan; I owned its roadmap, wrote 71% of the code, and moved model calls onto Atlan’s agent platform.

I also designed Solara, an always-on AI teammate in Slack, and built a Talk-to-Data agent scored on the data it returns. Earlier, I engineered an enterprise messaging ecosystem at The Walt Disney Company and built integration solutions at Disney and 20th century fox. I work by the principles “measure, don’t guess” and “agents act, people approve.”
