I define the technology strategy, and what AI should never touch
Not every part of the stack should be automated. My work is deciding which components to hand over to generative AI and which are too critical to leave without human oversight. Then I set the security standards to make that boundary hold.
With 12+ years across fintech, proptech, insurtech, energy, education, and enterprise, I’ve designed system architectures, led platform modernizations, and mentored 30+ engineers. That experience is what I now apply to the question every organization is facing: what to automate and what to protect.
I believe in technical rigor over hype. I write about this in Full Context, a biweekly newsletter on AI, architecture, and technology with real depth.

Technology & Architecture
Senior technical guidance on software architecture, cloud infrastructure, and digital transformation. Scalable, secure systems aligned with business goals.
AI Strategy & Governance
I design adoption frameworks for AI: what to automate with LLMs, what to keep under human control, and the standards that hold that boundary.
Leadership & Operations
I lead consulting teams and apply frontier AI for real productivity gains. Continuous improvement culture, not just tools.
Decisions I led

When a critical system can't be paused, migration stops being engineering and becomes choreography.
Moving financial, governmental, or energy services to modern platforms while they keep operating isn't a heroic conquest. It's a silent conversation between the old system and the new one, where no one outside should notice the change.

Two countries, two regulations, one platform: that's not a configuration problem.
It's solved with an architecture that treats difference as permanent, as a citizen, not an exception. I learned this rolling out regional platforms that had to feel local in every market.

Digitizing a regulated profession isn't giving it an app. It's understanding why the processes exist before simplifying them.
Legitimate friction isn't eliminated, it's redesigned so it stops hurting. The rest gets removed. I learned this building tools for professionals who carry their license and their reputation.

An agent without persistent memory is an intern with amnesia, not a coworker.
But an agent's memory can't live in a vendor's black box. It has to be auditable, portable, and under the user's control. I took that conviction to open source.
