Engineering Leader | AI Systems Builder | Platform Architect
Engineering leader with 20+ years building cloud-native distributed systems, developer platforms, and cybersecurity products. Currently building open-source AI agent tooling, including persistent memory systems for AI-assisted development and multi-agent workflows with intelligent model routing.
Engineering leader with deep experience across cybersecurity platforms, identity and access management (IAM), and cloud-native distributed systems. My career spans Fortune 100 scale and startup environments, and I specialize in connecting strategy to execution across product, engineering, and security stakeholders.
Most recently I have been building open-source AI agent infrastructure: persistent memory systems backed by vector databases, multi-agent workflows with cost-optimized model routing, and local AI workstation tooling. I bring the same engineering rigor from enterprise platform work to the AI tooling space.
MCP servers, vector search, multi-agent orchestration, and local LLM infrastructure
Security-first architecture for IAM, credential handling, and PII governance
Agile + DevOps transformation, observability, incident response, DORA metrics
Persistent AI second brain: an MCP server backed by PostgreSQL + pgvector that gives every AI tool shared memory. Store thoughts as vector embeddings so Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and Copilot can search by meaning, not just keywords. Local-first; you own the data.
A two-agent LangGraph workflow with 3-tier model routing and Open Brain integration. A Researcher agent searches memory via semantic search, a Router scores complexity and picks the cheapest capable model, and an Analyst synthesizes the answer.
Interactive setup wizard for a local AI workstation: LLMs, image generation, and video generation on any NVIDIA GPU. One command installs and configures Ollama, LM Studio, ComfyUI, and FramePack. No cloud dependency after setup.
Led engineering for a cybersecurity platform serving 9,000+ enterprise customers. Established delivery guardrails, reliability practices, and DORA-based measurement.
Built API-driven data platforms processing billions of records daily. Delivered $20M+ annual cost savings and protected $500M+ in revenue through secure data separation.
Delivered AI/ML-powered classification and anomaly detection for suspicious access identification. Focused on secure SDLC, audit readiness, and operational resilience.
