Expertise
What I do
Where I spend my time as an engineering leader who stays hands-on. Broad range, held together by a bias toward practical, observable systems that hold up in production.
01 · Leadership
Engineering leadership
Leading teams to deliver real software at scale.
Setting technical direction and architecture, planning and running delivery, growing and mentoring engineers, and creating the conditions for a team to ship reliably against real business stakes.
In practice
- Technical direction and architecture
- Delivery planning and execution
- Hiring, growing, and mentoring engineers
- Cross-team alignment and stakeholder communication

02 · Systems
Systems & architecture
Designing systems that hold up in production.
End-to-end design — services and APIs, data flows and integrations, and deployment — with reliability and observability designed in from the start rather than bolted on later.
In practice
- API and service design
- Data workflows and integration
- Controlled, observable deployment
- Reliability, performance, and scale

03 · Applied AI
Applied AI & automation
Turning AI into dependable, useful systems.
Practical systems built around modern AI and automation — agentic workflows, evaluation loops, retrieval, and the guardrails and human-in-the-loop controls that keep them safe and worth trusting.
In practice
- LLM-based application design
- Agentic and automated workflows
- Evaluation loops and guardrails
- Human-in-the-loop and responsible use

04 · Full-stack
Full-stack engineering
Comfortable across the whole delivery path.
From interface to services to data — still writing and reviewing real code, and able to move up and down the stack wherever a problem actually needs attention.
In practice
- Front-end and interface work
- Back-end services and data
- Code review and engineering quality
- Debugging across the full stack

05 · Infrastructure
Infrastructure & reliability
Owning the stack all the way down.
Standing up and operating infrastructure — Linux, servers, databases, networking, and GPUs — with security, monitoring, and self-hosting where it earns its keep.
In practice
- Linux and server operations
- Databases and networking
- Security and monitoring
- Self-hosting and cost control
