What I'm looking for

I seek roles owning end-to-end AI systems—architecture to production—within mission-driven, compliance-focused teams that value engineering rigor, governance, and measurable impact.

I am an enterprise AI and IT solutions architect, engineer, strategist, and analyst with four decades of hands-on delivery and AI work since 1992, focused on bridging the gap from prototype to secure, governed, production systems. I design and build synthetic conscious intelligent (SCI/AGI-class) agent systems, production-grade architectures, and Responsible AI governance programs to accelerate safe, auditable deployment in compliance-heavy industries.

My work includes authoring a Jira-ready 12-week governance backlog, designing Responsible AI Test & Audit Control Center harnesses, PHI boundary enforcement patterns, and telemetry/monitoring runbooks. I contribute immediately as an AI/IT architect, R&D partner, program execution leader, or production/support engineer—bringing breadth across LLMs, model orchestration, pipelines, cloud, security, and data governance.
