Hi, I'm
Lead AI Engineer and Full-Stack Systems Architect with 20+ years of software development experience, specializing in end-to-end cloud-native web applications and autonomous agentic AI systems. I bridge resilient multi-tier frontends and high-availability backends with modern Generative AI, moving applications past simple prototypes into scalable, high-throughput production environments.
Designing and deploying microservices, serverless workloads, REST/gRPC APIs, and responsive frontends using modern cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP, Docker, Kubernetes, IaC).
Architecting low-latency, real-time conversational AI solutions integrated into web applications and communication stacks with multimodal APIs, handling dynamic routing, state persistence, and backend service integration.
Engineering local developer harnesses and autonomous execution environments that pair open-source models and Claude with codebases for automated refactoring, code generation, and complex workflow orchestration.
