I'm an engineering leader with 15+ years building AI-powered and cloud-native platforms. I've been a founder-CTO twice, one company acquired. I help teams put AI to work in production, not just in demos. Most of my current work is AI-first: Claude Code agent specs, multi-agent orchestration, LLM-driven code review, and automation pipelines that lifted my team's engineering velocity ~40%. I also design the architecture underneath, microservices on Kubernetes, real-time data platforms serving tens of millions of connected devices, and AIOps observability with ML anomaly detection. What I take on: AI automation workflows, agentic systems, LLM integration, cloud architecture, and technical leadership/advisory. I work remotely, async across timezones, and I'm direct about scope and fit. Let's talk about what you're building.
