What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead high-impact technology, AI, and optimization initiatives from strategy through production, building scalable systems, mentoring teams, and delivering measurable operational outcomes.

I lead IT operations and technology strategy at SG LAW LLP, spanning cloud platforms, cybersecurity, legal technology, and LLM-powered solutions for legal research, contract review, document analysis, and workflow automation.

Previously, I led distributed backend architectures, high-throughput data pipelines, and LLM product development at Fresh Codes, while mentoring remote engineering teams. My work in Python, optimization, and data science has reduced vehicle needs by 20%, saved $60K monthly in cloud costs, cut model deployment from five days to five minutes, and improved report-team velocity by 100%.
