I build and operationalise production AI systems for enterprise engineering teams.

What I'm looking for

I’m looking to help enterprise teams build, operate and adopt production AI systems through practical architecture, engineering enablement, repeatable operating practices and hands-on problem solving.

I help enterprise engineering teams build, deploy and operate production AI systems through Axalon’s work with Google’s strategic customer accounts. In the first half of 2026, I completed more than 50 engineering enablement and adoption engagements for 14 enterprise customers.

I work directly with developers, platform teams and engineering leaders on AI-assisted development, agentic systems, architecture, integrations, CI/CD, governance and operational practices. I support production agent development using Google ADK, Vertex AI and Agent Engine, and design and operate Axalon’s production multi-agent system.

Before enterprise AI, I built Axalon as Google’s technical enablement partner for cloud adoption across Australia and New Zealand and held architecture, delivery and CTO Ambassador roles at VMware. I’m a Google Developer Expert in Cloud and AI, a five-time Google Cloud Trainer of the Year for Asia Pacific, and have taught more than 25,000 professionals.
