Human Judgment

Architecture decisions, stakeholder alignment, and security models come from a decade of living inside real enterprise processes — not from a prompt.

AI Acceleration

AI pairs on the code: data models, infrastructure templates, release notes, and refactors — scaled to 350M+ tokens a month across multiple models.

🤝

Compounding Together

The combination ships event-driven platforms in weeks that erase thousands of hours of manual work per year — measured, audited, in production.

About

I'm a fusion developer at Microsoft — the role that lives between low-code speed and pro-code depth. My path ran from data analyst, to metric architect for a $99B business line, to data platform builder, to end-to-end owner of production automation platforms used by operations, compliance, and digital safety teams.

The through-line: find the manual process everyone has accepted as inevitable, and make it disappear. I design the architecture, model the data, build the security (row-level security, Entra ID, Managed Identity, zero secrets in code), ship it, and stay accountable in production.

Since 2025, AI has been a genuine collaborator in that work — I mentor engineers on AI-assisted development, and I build with it daily across coding, architecture, and documentation.
