Message

At a confidential enterprise client, I architect AWS agentic platforms using Amazon Bedrock, hybrid OpenSearch retrieval, and enterprise knowledge stores. I also built 11+ MCP servers and gRPC edge proxies to connect LLMs with enterprise tools and resources.

At Kroger Technology & Digital, I built and deployed AI agents with Azure OpenAI and Azure AI Foundry, and trained and worked with agents in Copilot Studio. I also led an 8-person team through releases of a greenfield buyer platform, spanning data storage, import workflows, APIs, and client applications.
