Associate Architect & Google Cloud Platform AI Practice Lead · Agentic AI Systems · Cloud Architecture · Full-Stack Engineering
Architect and GCP AI practice lead who designs and ships agentic AI systems end to end, from LLM pipelines and MCP tooling down to the cloud infrastructure they run on. Went from entry-level developer to architect in five years at CEI by taking ownership of the hardest problems on enterprise healthcare accounts: served as technical lead while the flagship healthcare account grew from a single consultant to roughly 55 generating about $1M in monthly recurring revenue, led the client's first legacy modernization of its kind, built the rules engine powering live informational notifications in an enterprise healthcare customer-service platform, work that earned executive-level recognition and team awards.
Pre-med neuroscience researcher who pivoted to programming by way of financial services. Leadership shows up beyond the codebase: trusted by executive operations leadership to interview both consultants hired directly to client projects and internal engineers, and a regular partner in pre-sales for agentic development and GCP engagements.

Built an extensible Go CLI with pluggable LLM providers, an internal agentic CLI tool that produces bash commands from natural language, OAuth2 middleware bridging the OpenAI SDK to Vertex AI, a resilient JSON-parsing strategy for LLM pipelines in Go, and internal resume-parsing ML tooling.
Authored and presented the GCP AI Academy executive briefing (May 2026) on the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform, covering three enterprise use cases.
Led 85%+ of development on a rule-engine platform that surfaces contextual guidance to call-center reps in real time. Shipped November 2023 with nine scenarios and used daily by hundreds of reps; reduced call times and rep ramp-up, and earned executive-level recognition and team awards.
Migrated a WebSphere 8.5 application to OpenShift, OpenLiberty, and Java 21, building the CI/CD pipeline from scratch. The migration is now the reference pattern for future modernizations.
Personally built the cross-framework router and connector service that made incremental migration possible, then completed the full Angular 12 migration of Find A Dentist ahead of schedule with 85%+ test coverage.
Remediated 25+ applications, taking 15+ healthcare apps from failing to 90%+ passing. The dental division reached the highest accessibility scores in the entire company.
Led the RichFaces to PrimeFaces conversion of a critical call-center app: 87 user stories over two quarters, completed with minimal issues.
Technical lead on a healthcare engagement that grew from one consultant to roughly 55, generating about $1M in monthly recurring revenue. Maintained, extended, and migrated the same applications over four years at that client, owning the work rather than building and leaving.
Conducted 50+ technical interviews for internal and client-facing positions and helped onboard 44+ consultants, including 18 Java and full-stack developers.
Multi-year personal platform spanning real-time ingestion pipelines for prediction markets (Kalshi) and crypto exchanges (Kraken websocket streamers with order-book snapshotting), a securities master data system on GCP provisioned with Terraform, historical data ingestion and curation APIs, and custom backtesting engines written in Go and Python. Includes kalshiflow: a Go pipeline paired with a Python backtesting harness over a shared Parquet contract.
Built an MCP server for document search, contributed to an MCP server giving LLMs context on Spartan NG Angular components, wrote an OpenAI-powered resume parser in Go, and developed custom Claude Code research skills.
Tooling to build a PDF dataset of US House financial disclosures with OCR extraction to CSV (Go, Python), and a family of CFTC Commitments of Traders data pipelines and APIs (Go, Java/Spring Boot, SQLite/Postgres).
API wrappers for EODHD pricing and Odds API, a CCXT-based REST API for crypto exchange balances, and an Azure Function processing TradingView webhook alerts into Blob Storage.
