Full-stack software engineer · AI automation architect · forward-deployed engineer
I build software that runs the business — not just software the business runs. 10+ years across enterprise engineering (defense, public-sector, fintech), now designing self-hosted agentic-AI platforms on the Model Context Protocol (MCP): autonomous multi-agent systems, LLM tool-use integrations, and workflow automation that run in production, not demos.
Managing Partner at NLMA, where I operate a fleet of 40+ production services and 7+ MCP servers integrating 20+ platforms across finance, records, documents, and operations — with 100% client ownership of code and infrastructure.
