Principal AI Systems & Platform Engineer
Agentic AI | Platforms & Observability | Data & NLP | Production Systems
Senior hands-on consultant with 20+ years of experience building and operating large-scale digital platforms. I specialize in designing and implementing AI systems as production software—observable, deterministic, and tightly integrated into business flows.
- Scale: Architected platforms handling 1.3B+ weekly impressions with 99.98% uptime, while reducing cost-per-impression by ~95%.
- Automation: Reduced manual business processes from 20 minutes to 7 seconds using deterministic AI orchestration and low-latency pipelines.
- Observability: Built ISO 27001-compliant observability stacks (Grafana, Prometheus, Loki, Tempo) for distributed data systems.
- Innovation: Creator of OpenExec, a framework for translating business intent into reliable technical execution.
- Agentic AI & ML: Design of autonomous/deterministic workflows, ML API development (Python, Vertex AI), and tool-driven orchestration.
- Platforms & MLOps: Kubernetes (multi-tenant), Infrastructure as Code (Terraform), and secure CI/CD for AI systems.
- Data & NLP: NLP pipelines for document classification, metadata extraction, and unstructured data enrichment.
The Deterministic AI Operating System.
A task orchestration framework designed to treat AI agents as managed workers. It embeds safety, observability, and PII-compliance directly into the architecture.
