"Ships in harbor are safe, but that's not what ships are built for." 🚢
I design Agentic AI workflows, RAG pipelines, and low-latency microservices that bridge advanced ML with measurable enterprise ROI. For a decade I've been the person teams call when a system has to stay up, ship fast, and still pay for itself.
- 🧠 Now — Consulting AI Architect · Agentic AI + RAG blueprints across GCP & Azure
- 🛠️ Recently — Led AI inference optimization at CADDi: cut latency 60%, saved ~$180K/year
- 🎯 Open to — Senior / Principal / Staff AI Architect roles · Education & Healthcare collabs
- 🎓 Carnegie Mellon × Van Lang · BEng, Computer Software Engineering (2010–2016)
- 🎤 Off keyboard — I sing. Ask me about the setlist.

If you're standing up agentic AI, debating a RAG stack, or trying to cut inference cost in half — grab a slot. First call's on me.
I'm most useful to teams that are:
- Standing up Agentic AI or RAG for the first time and need a production-grade blueprint
- Running inference workloads that are slow, expensive, or both
- Migrating monoliths to micro-frontends / event-driven microservices without breaking SLAs
- Shipping AI features under SOC 2, PII, or HITL constraints
If any of that sounds like your week — say hi.
