Building platforms, systems, and companies that scale.
About
I am an Enterprise Architect specializing in internal developer platforms, cloud-native infrastructure, and large-scale system design. I lead enterprise technology transformations focused on platform modernization, DevOps evolution, and data architecture redesign. My goal is to enable engineering teams to ship faster, safer, and with confidence.
Beyond client engagements, I build open-source AI tools and knowledge graphs that provide structured context for intelligent agents, powering service discovery and automated workflows.
