What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build and scale AI-powered, cloud-native products where I can lead architecture, ship production software, mentor engineering teams, and solve complex business challenges through Generative AI and modern software engineering.

I've built AI-powered SaaS products, enterprise platforms, startup MVPs, and consumer-facing applications at Innolitics, CVS Health, and Dignity Health.

At Innolitics, I architected enterprise AI platforms for interactive gaming and XR using LLMs, AI agents, RAG, semantic search, Python, FastAPI, Node.js, and TypeScript. I also built AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, and GitHub Actions infrastructure that reduced deployment time by over 70%.

Across 10+ years, I've led engineering initiatives, designed distributed systems and cloud architecture, mentored developers, and delivered products from concept through long-term production support. I'm passionate about applying Generative AI and modern software engineering to solve complex business challenges.
