AI-Forward Solution Architect·Senior Technologist
I help teams turn vague ambitions into working systems.
For thirty years I've worked at the front edge of new technology — breaking ground, filling the blank spots in a plan, and making sense of problems before there's a playbook. AI isn't my first industry-reshaping shift. It's the latest in a long chain, and the people best equipped to carry a team through it are the ones who've made the crossing before.
Under NDA
Business-critical capabilities for three of the most recognizable names in automotive.
On the record
High-profile experiences.
An AI-assisted pipeline: Figma components and design tokens, interrogated through MCP by an LLM agent, turned into branded React, Vue 3, Vue 2, and web-component codebases — distributed standalone so client teams generated code in their own repos.
A conversational frontend over a Go chat service with multi-conversation tracking and data sources through MCP — plus a control-room app for live monitoring of token burn, tool-call behavior, retrieval sources, and failure modes. An evaluation harness as much as a demo.
Ground-up rebuilds of the two largest, most rule-dense apps on a flagship automotive site — the configurator and inventory search — plus the lead funnel and the automation moving daily manufacturer and dealer data into production.
I have a history of turning unstructured intent into architecture, working code, and a team that can execute.
AI work still needs architecture, source control, review, evals, and someone accountable for the decisions. I can help you separate useful work from fragile demos and vendor noise, choose a buildable path, and put operating practices around it.
What I'm optimizing for is the people and the problem, not the engagement letter. Full-time, fractional, consulting, or advisory all work — and I'd rather build something ongoing than chase a one-off.
Senior Developer → Technology Lead. Nearly nine years of brand-critical automotive platform work, run as a self-directed tiger team. Named Technology Lead in 2025.
Founder / Technical Consultant. An applied R&D and consulting lab: web and e-commerce, Node / C# / Python / Go / Rust, streaming-studio systems, IoT and embedded, and small-run CAD/CAM workflows.
Independent consultant. 25+ years of high-pressure interactive and media infrastructure for Manhattan agencies (Haus, JWT, Droga5) — the systems that had to work the night the Super Bowl ad ran.
Teaching students from children to FBI HRT and counter-terror units. Used to translating hard material for whoever is in front of me, and training people to hold their skills together under real pressure.
Tell me what you're trying to build, fix, or understand. The form is the beginning of a serious conversation — not a marketing funnel.
