At Southland Industries, I lead solution engagements across enterprise automation, data, and AI, turning ambiguous business needs into technical approaches, prototypes, and production workflows. I designed the applied AI roadmap and pilot architecture for an Operations Copilot that gathers information from workflow documentation and SharePoint to produce source-cited briefings and recommend next actions.
I also created AI-assisted engineering standards for prompt design, agents, evaluation, security, and responsible AI, and coach contractors on using AI in development. I stay hands-on prototyping and debugging integrations across Microsoft Fabric/OneLake, Microsoft Graph, SharePoint, Workato, Autodesk ACC/Forma, COINS, and Stratus.
At SDI Presence, I led the re-architecture of a legacy Angular/.NET application into .NET Core microservices on Azure Functions and implemented Azure DevOps CI/CD. The changes accelerated release cadence by 50% and reduced deployment failures by 90%; I also established practices that raised test coverage from 60% to 90% and reduced production defects by 70%.
At SDI Presence, I architected and led development of a JavaScript/WebSockets real-time audio platform for law enforcement, replacing third-party tooling and saving approximately $250,000 annually. Earlier, I led a team at Age of Learning through a migration from ActionScript/Flash to JavaScript/HTML5, reducing critical defects by 80% and saving more than 200 hours of QA overtime.
