I'm a software engineer and AI leader based in the Sierra Nevada. I build data platforms, ML pipelines, AI agents, and the infrastructure that lets teams ship faster. Lately I spend a lot of time helping engineering organizations rewire how they work — not just adopting AI tools, but rethinking the full development loop.
Outside of work, I'm usually outdoors — hydrofoiling on Tahoe, skiing, trail running, or disappearing into the Sierra backcountry.

Streaming pipelines, batch processing, and the orchestration layers that connect them.
CI/CD systems, infrastructure as code, and internal developer tooling.
Event-driven services, message buses, and systems that need to scale reliably.
Ingestion, transformation, data quality, and getting datasets ready for analytics.
Training pipelines, model optimization, and deploying inference to production.
Smart home systems with local LLM integration, voice pipelines, and GPU-accelerated inference.
Building autonomous agents with tool use, memory, and multi-step reasoning. Production deployments with Claude, LangChain, and LangGraph — wired into real systems, not just demos.
Leading high-impact product teams from 0-to-1 and at scale. Setting technical direction, building cultures of ownership and velocity, and driving outcomes — not just managing headcount.
Helping engineering organizations rewire how they work — identifying high-leverage AI adoption points, upskilling teams, and building the culture and tooling that make AI a genuine force multiplier.
