About

A developer profile tuned for applied AI work.

I combine Machine Learning, software engineering, and product delivery experience to build useful software from complex data.

AI Engineering

Designing LLM workflows, retrieval pipelines, and applied AI systems with Amazon Bedrock, AWS AgentCore, and Strands Framework.

Software Engineering

Building scalable, maintainable software solutions with a focus on performance and user experience.

Backend Development

Shipping APIs and data-backed services with Fast API, Node.js, GoLang and secure integration patterns.

Product Delivery
