Software architecture for cloud and AI systems

20+ years designing scalable software and cloud platforms. I now apply that architecture discipline to AI-assisted delivery, agent workflows, and systems that need to survive real production constraints.

Capabilities

Cloud systems, technical leadership, and AI-assisted delivery

Architecture remains the foundation: clear boundaries, resilient platforms, cost awareness, and technical leadership. AI is a new layer in that system, not a replacement for engineering judgment.

Cloud Architecture at Scale

Design AWS and SaaS platforms that absorb real traffic, AI workloads, and operational pressure without turning cost or reliability into surprises.

Technical Leadership

Guide teams through architectural trade-offs, delivery constraints, and platform decisions with the perspective of two decades building production software.

AI-Assisted Software Delivery

Apply coding agents and LLM workflows where they help: implementation support, review loops, documentation, and repeatable engineering practice.

Agentic Systems Exploration

Shape early agent workflows with clear boundaries, evaluation habits, tool access, and operational thinking before they become production dependencies.

Signals

Trusted by teams building real products

Leaders, founders, and engineers I have partnered with across architecture, delivery, and technical decision-making.
