What I do
Three layers, one owner
Most products break at the seams between them. I work across all three, so the seams get designed instead of discovered.
Product engineering
Next.js and React front ends wired to Node, Python and typed APIs — built to survive real traffic, not just a demo.
AI systems
RAG pipelines, LangGraph agents and multimodal workflows that plug into existing business processes instead of replacing them.
Cloud & delivery
AWS CDK infrastructure, containers, GitHub Actions pipelines and the production support that comes after the launch.
