Senior .NET/Azure engineer • edge AI • agentic systems • cloud operations

I build practical AI systems on serious enterprise software foundations.

Senior full-stack engineer with 10+ years shipping secure .NET and SQL-heavy applications across government, higher education, and enterprise environments. Current work focuses on WebLLM/ONNX/PyTorch edge inference, agentic Article Studio workflows, cached Azure Cloud Portal tooling, and cloud-backed product surfaces that hold up under real constraints.

Best fit for applied AI teams, Azure/.NET modernization groups, internal tooling teams, and organizations turning AI experiments into usable software.

I work best where enterprise discipline, cloud operations, and practical AI need to meet: modernizing legacy systems, building operator-friendly admin surfaces, wiring AI into real workflows, and shipping products that feel calm, fast, secure, and credible in production.

10+ years

Enterprise software delivery

Shipping secure .NET, SQL, reporting, and internal tooling systems across government, higher education, and enterprise environments.

Azure / DevOps

Cloud operations tooling

Building a cached Azure admin/control plane for operational visibility across app health, telemetry, Redis, PostgreSQL, and deployment-aware workflows.

Edge + Agentic AI

Practical AI builder

Working with WebLLM, ONNX/PyTorch, local inference concepts, intent routing, and Article Studio as an agentic content-operations system.

Product-minded

Business context

MBA-backed judgment for founder-led teams, modernization work, AI-enabled workflows, and high-stakes software decisions.

Why this direction matters

The useful AI products will be built by people who can ship the whole system.

Durable AI is not just the model. It is identity, data paths, cloud cost, latency, caching, observability, fallback behavior, privacy, security, and trust. That is the layer of software I care about building: practical AI wrapped in systems that teams can actually run.
