Automation, AI & Systems Architecture
leadership that ships.

15+ years designing secure, scalable systems and leading AI-driven automation at scale. From architecting infrastructure for 800+ engineers to building production AI agents that eliminate manual work — I help companies turn complex problems into reliable, secure, running systems.

I design secure systems, automate what slows companies down, and build the AI that accelerates what matters.

I've managed 700+ compute nodes and 400+ AI accelerators at Tenstorrent, built data pipelines that saved manufacturers millions at Jabil, and led distributed engineering teams across continents. I know what it takes to transform an organization's infrastructure — because I've done it, repeatedly, at scale.

At Tenstorrent, I pioneered Agentic AI solutions that cut support ticket volume by 70% and saved teams hours of manual work daily. I automated provisioning for 600+ servers, reduced hardware deployment from weeks to hours, and transitioned a reactive IT organization into a proactive Platform Engineering team serving 800+ engineers.

Before that, I was a Data Architect at Jabil — building near real-time analytics pipelines for global factory operations, converting monolithic systems to microservices, and leading zero-data-loss migrations. That foundation in data architecture and operational automation shapes everything I build today.

Since going independent, I've shipped over twenty production systems in three months — proving I can move fast without cutting corners. I pick the right tool for the job and own every layer from the server rack to the user interface.

See what's next

Pioneered Agentic AI at Tenstorrent before it was a buzzword — reducing support tickets 70% with MCP-based agents across Slack.

Ship fast, ship right

Automated provisioning for 600+ servers. Reduced hardware deployment from weeks to hours. Production-grade is the only grade.

Secure by design

Vault-managed secrets, encrypted document storage, certificate-based auth, Fernet encryption, zero-trust networking. Security is architecture, not an afterthought.

Build teams that grow

Grew and mentored engineering teams at every stop. Turned underperformers into owners. Transformed IT into Platform Engineering.

Where I've been.

I've led infrastructure and engineering teams across AI hardware, HPC, manufacturing, IoT, and cloud — always at the intersection of architecture and execution.

2023 — 2025

Sr Manager, AI Infrastructure & HPC

Tenstorrent

Led platform engineering for 800+ engineers across HPC and AI accelerator infrastructure. Managed 700+ compute nodes and 400+ Tenstorrent accelerators across two datacenters. Pioneered Agentic AI solutions that cut support volume 70%. Led a Tiger Team of 20+ engineers to resolve critical hardware failures blocking product release. Transitioned the team from reactive IT to proactive Platform Engineering.

Independent work, production architecture.

Since leaving Tenstorrent, I've been shipping — applying everything I've learned about systems design, security, and AI to build tools I believe in. Each one started with a real problem and was built with the same rigor I'd bring to enterprise infrastructure.

Agent Platform · Secure Gateway

Agent Ma

A Kubernetes-native gateway between humans and AI agents — multi-auth (session tokens, API keys, Telegram integration), RabbitMQ quorum queues for reliable task delivery, PTY-based live terminal streaming, and end-to-end OpenTelemetry tracing. Every agent interaction is auditable, rate-limited, and tenant-isolated.

ML Inference · Multi-Tenant SaaS

Polymorphic

A multi-tenant ML inference platform with namespace-isolated deployments, HPA-driven GPU scaling, and scoped RBAC. JWT + API key auth, security headers middleware, rate limiting per tenant, S3 model storage, Stripe billing. Users deploy models through a simple API — the security and scaling happen automatically.

Jam Session

Musicians shouldn't need to be in the same room. A low-latency networked MIDI system in C, speaking raw UDP with RTT measurement, cross-platform between Windows and Linux. Plug in your keyboard, connect to a session, and play together.

Business Platform · Encrypted by Default

AgentHub

Insurance sales management built on AES-256-GCM document encryption, brute-force protection, and role-based access (admin / manager / seller). Concurrent bulk import via worker pools, Claude-powered PDF and spreadsheet extraction, multi-vendor quote comparison. Every customer document is encrypted at rest — not optional, not configurable.

How I work.

01

Architecture-first thinking

Every system I build starts with architecture — the right patterns, the right boundaries, the right failure modes. I've designed platforms spanning 700+ compute nodes across datacenters, and I run my own infrastructure now: bare-metal servers, Kubernetes, Helm, Harbor, Vault, Prometheus. I think in systems, not features.

02

Right tool, right job

Rust when correctness and performance matter. Go for concurrent services. Python for rapid iteration and ML. C when you need to talk directly to hardware. TypeScript for rich UIs. I don't have a favorite language — I have favorite outcomes.

03

AI as leverage, not theater

At Tenstorrent, I built MCP agents that cut support tickets 70% and saved a team 4-5 hours daily on manual query resolution. I integrate AI where it creates real value — not to add a chatbot to everything, but to solve problems that were previously impractical.

04

Security as architecture

Security isn't a checklist you run at the end — it's how you design the system from day one. Vault for secrets management, certificate-based authentication, encrypted storage at rest, zero-trust networking, automated credential rotation. I've managed infrastructure serving 800+ engineers where a breach would halt product development. That shapes how I build everything.

Ready to move faster?

If your organization needs automation leadership, AI strategy, or someone who can take infrastructure from chaos to platform — I'd like to hear about it. I bring 15+ years of hands-on experience leading teams and shipping systems at companies like Tenstorrent, Jabil, Spirent, and HP. Let's talk.
