I turn LLM prototypes into production systems, and architect the platforms they run on.
Open to principal and architect roles · available for consulting
I've been building software for more than fifteen years, mostly backend and platform work on Azure and AWS. A lot of it now involves LLMs: retrieval that cites its sources, agents that run inside a pipeline a person can review, and models that stay on the device when the data is private.
I pay most attention to the things that hurt later if you skip them now, like data models, failure modes, identity and cost. I write ADRs so the reasoning outlives the meeting it came from, and I test from the spec inward.

I still write much of the backend code myself, for our own products and for client platforms. That has included a payment gateway, a load-testing service and an LLM voice agent. I also own the engineering standards across Azure and AWS, from CI/CD to how we review code.
Designed multi-tenant OIDC authorization that federates Entra ID and Autodesk, and a Master Data API on Azure Container Apps. Moved the estate off a legacy App Service Environment onto a private, Terraform-managed platform behind a WAF. I also fixed a KEDA scaling problem that had the platform paying for idle capacity.
Built and ran the payment platform behind a marketplace on Worldpay for Platforms, covering merchant onboarding, charges, refunds, subscriptions, gift cards, payouts and deliveries. Writes are idempotent and service calls are HMAC-signed with a replay window. Webhooks go through SQS and Lambda, with dead-letter analysis for the ones that fail. Stack: TypeScript, Prisma, Aurora PostgreSQL, Terraform.
