Software Engineering Senior Advisor at Evernorth building AI agents that make sensitive data easier to navigate.

United States
Message

At Evernorth Health Services, I design and deploy AI agents that help users navigate and troubleshoot access to sensitive data through conversational interfaces. I give data a voice—and make sure it actually knows what it’s talking about.

I’m also developing metadata-driven agents that surface lineage, schema, and entitlement context in natural language, turning static metadata into a self-service knowledge layer. In my previous Evernorth role, I modernized legacy ETL workflows into ELT architectures with Databricks Delta Lake, Unity Catalog, and Auto Loader.

Earlier, I designed data security frameworks and pipelines at Solomon Page and built data tools, APIs, and websites at Bedrock Detroit and Zbox.com. My work has also included robotic process automation and role-based access control at CareTech Solutions.
