software architecture
Architecture that survives contact with delivery.
I turn product goals and constraints into clear interfaces, reliability goals, and a practical plan a team can implement.

How I work
From the first design decision to the software running in production.
More about my approachproduction engineering
Build it, ship it, operate it.
I move across application code, data, delivery, observability, reliability, performance, and cost so architecture stays connected to what actually runs.
security by design
Security in the architecture, not after it.
I model trust boundaries, identity, data exposure, dependencies, and failure modes early, then encode least privilege into the implementation.
AI systems engineering
Useful agents with explicit boundaries.
I build AI workflows with scoped tools, explicit permissions, repeatable evaluations, and review before consequential actions.
