About

Executive Summary

I architect and rescue mission-critical systems at massive scale: optimizing p99 latency, engineering 99.99% availability, and building multi-region cloud infrastructures serving tens of millions of daily active users across Financial Services, Insurance, and Hospitality.

At AWS, I serve in the Vanguard Customer Delivery Engineering program, guiding Fortune 50 enterprises through all-in cloud migrations and Agentic AI adoption as a field CTO-level technical advisor. Previously, I held progressive leadership roles at IBM over 16 years, from Lead Developer to Executive IT Architect, building engineering organizations and driving multi-million-dollar transformation programs.

I'm the co-author of Practical Agentic Coding (Apress, foreword by Dr. Matt Wood, CTIO of PwC) and co-founder of AgenticCoders.dev, an enterprise AI knowledge platform and podcast for practitioners building production AI systems.

Currently pursuing an Executive MBA with a Cybersecurity focus at UNC Wilmington. Recognized expert in applied GenAI, multi-agent orchestration, and AI governance.

Active contributor to the AWS Generative AI and Machine Learning Technical Field Community, published researcher, industry evangelist, and dedicated mentor helping the next generation of cloud architects grow.
