I build the teams, platforms and AI-assisted engineering practices that turn enterprise data into decisions, and I run the delivery that gets them into production.
-- operating thesis
Eighteen years have taught me that models are the easy part. The hard part is the platform underneath, the team around it, and the commercial model that funds it. I lead all three.
Multi-agent systems that audit, reason and act, built with deterministic routing, hard invariants and human approval gates so they are safe to run in an enterprise.

-- selected work
Open-source projects where I prototype the patterns my teams later take to production.
A three-agent adversarial code and FinOps auditor that runs fully offline on a laptop CPU, on a 398 MB local model. No API keys, no cloud cost, no data leaving the machine.
WHY IT MATTERSShows how regulated enterprises can get AI review without sending code or cost data to a third party.
Diffs Tableau workbook revisions and produces HTML/PDF reports with structural changes, dependency impact, lineage and a risk score, answering "what changed in the last publish, and is it safe?"
A multi-agent travel planner built on LangGraph, exploring agent hand-offs, shared state and tool use.
Finds costly warehouse query patterns with Qdrant named vectors and enforces hard invariants such as "never downscale if the historical match breached its SLA" before recommending a fix.
