Work with me
Technical leadership.
The engagement that fits.
I take responsibility for engineering direction and hands-on AI delivery. The scope can be an organization, a principal architecture role, a retained CTO engagement or a focused architecture decision.
Organizational leadership
CTO / Head of Engineering
For leadership opportunities involving engineering teams, AI product strategy, platform architecture or forward deployed delivery. Discuss the mandate, decision authority and team scope directly.
Hands-on AI roles
Principal AI Architect / Forward Deployed Engineering
For roles that own the architecture and the code: agentic systems, retrieval, voice AI and LLM integrations taken into production with customers. I work in LangGraph, the OpenAI and Anthropic SDKs, MCP, pgvector and OpenTelemetry, and I stay with a deployment until it holds up in production.
