Message

At Sofist, I’m part of the innovation team that built three AI products from scratch for the R/Pulse platform, now deployed with paying customers across six industry sectors. I own two products: API Resilience Core, co-developed by a team of three, and the Autonomous Adaptive Security Agent, which I designed and built from concept through enterprise trials to production.

At Oracle Health, I was technical lead on most of an 80-plus initiative AI/ML portfolio, leading teams of five to six developers and delivering projects from discovery through handoff. I also served as Oracle Health’s sole representative on Oracle’s AI Governance Board and designed a patient-facing oncology AI recommendation system that contributed to a $15M contract renewal.
