I build production GenAI and agentic AI, including RAG, MCP tool integration and guardrails, on top of cloud-native enterprise architecture. Most of that work has been in regulated financial services, where things have to actually work.

Expertise

From enterprise strategy to production AI

I work at every level of architecture: I set enterprise direction, design the solutions and ship the AI systems that run on them. Here's what that looks like in practice.

GenAI & agentic AI

Production LLM, RAG and agent systems, from model selection and retrieval design to MCP tool integration and reliability.

Architected an agentic email-response system powered by Claude that investigates customer-reported appraisal discrepancies, calling tools over MCP against Snowflake, Oracle and web sources.
Delivered a production RAG chatbot that helps appraisers analyze comps and apply USPAP guidelines, on Azure AI Search and Microsoft Foundry.
Built real-time voice AI platforms with LiveKit and OpenAI, including an AI interview platform that generates candidate scorecards.

AI platforms & governance

The guardrails, observability and secure integration patterns that let an organization adopt AI safely and at scale.

Built a custom GenAI framework on the Microsoft AI Framework with governance controls, monitoring and conversation logging built in.
Led enterprise AI governance and responsible-AI adoption: policies, guardrails and secure integration patterns.
Rolled out GitHub Copilot and MCP servers to give AI tools secure access to internal systems such as Azure DevOps.

Solution architecture & delivery

Turning business problems into cloud-native systems that ship, and staying accountable for availability, cost and security in production.

Designed an enterprise reconciliation platform that prevented $22M+ in write-offs, on AWS API Gateway, DynamoDB, React and a rule engine on EKS.
Re-architected on-premises middleware to serverless AWS, reaching 99.9% availability.
Raised a monolithic Settlement & Title system to 99.5% availability with zero-downtime releases.

Enterprise architecture & technical leadership

Reference architectures, coding standards and secure integration patterns that get engineering teams working toward one vision.

Authored a company-wide Microservices Strategy that modernized legacy systems into a cloud-native architecture.
Designed a mission-critical Fedwire wire-transfer platform with HSM-based signing, and led a multi-year TRID compliance program.
Led the Domain-Driven Design modularization of a core API monolith, improving scalability and maintainability by 15%.
