Summary

Solutions-focused engineer with a hybrid background in enterprise software delivery and large-scale program leadership. Combines hands-on experience designing and integrating Java/Spring and TypeScript systems for federal and enterprise clients with 13+ years leading $80M+ commercial programs end-to-end: owning discovery, scoping, executive presentations, business cases, and customer-facing delivery. Builds production-minded proofs-of-concept with LLM APIs, RAG, and the Model Context Protocol (MCP), and translates emerging agentic capabilities into measurable business outcomes. Equally comfortable embedded with a customer, in the architecture whiteboard session, and in the IDE.

Core Strengths

  • ·Customer Discovery & Solution Design: requirements workshops, current-state analysis, architecture diagrams, technology roadmaps, business cases
  • ·Customer-Facing Communication: executive presentations to C-level sponsors, technical reviewers, and end-user audiences; navigating ambiguity across complex, cross-organizational environments
  • ·Applied AI & Agentic: production LLM patterns (prompt engineering, agent development, evaluation frameworks, RAG, MCP servers, sub-agents, and agent skills)
  • ·Enterprise Software Delivery: Java, Spring Boot, TypeScript, JavaScript, REST APIs, microservices, systems integration, SQL, AWS; Python for AI prototyping
  • ·DevOps & Platform: Kubernetes, Docker, GitLab CI/CD, HashiCorp Vault, Agile/Scrum
  • ·Program Leadership: $80M+ portfolio ownership, forecasting, budgeting, procurement, scheduling, cross-functional stakeholder management
