Principal Data & RAG Engineer at IT Pros, productionizing enterprise RAG systems and cloud data platforms across regulated industries.

Message

At IT Pros, I lead cloud data engineering and GenAI/RAG architecture for pharmaceutical, healthcare, and biotech engagements. I delivered a Hybrid RAG HR knowledge base and evolved a regulated Life Sciences system into Agentic RAG, with evaluation and guardrails for controlled data.

At Truist Bank, I led LightStream’s modernization from SSIS to Azure Data Factory and helped introduce a federated Synapse warehouse using Data Vault 2.0. I also built data pipelines supporting credit-risk modeling and took enterprise RAG solutions from design to production.

Across these roles, I’ve built cloud data platforms, automated pipeline operations with AI agents, and developed validation frameworks that reduced release defects by 27%. I take an evaluation-first approach to RAG: establish baselines, then add complexity when the evidence calls for it.
