01 — The Journey

Sixteen years, five levels.

Each one unlocked the next.

I architect production AI systems that survive enterprise reality: the multi-tenant authorization, evaluation harnesses, guardrails, and operational discipline that turn impressive demos into infrastructure teams trust. The road here ran through a decade of enterprise architecture and cloud-native transformation, then the productionization of RAG agents, multi-agent orchestration, and secure MCP deployments at Fortune-100 scale. The platform patterns I design now run across multiple engineering teams.

It predicts your strike before you swing. Get predictable and it parries & counters. A real pattern-learning engine, about 2KB, running entirely in your browser.

I build systems that learn like this for a living, with the evals and guardrails that make them safe in production.

06 — Beyond the Code

Systems thinker, outdoors edition

Away from production dashboards you'll find me chasing old observatories, good light, and quiet water. Also the occasional very large machine.
