I am a Senior AI and Full-Stack Engineer with 6+ years delivering enterprise-grade systems across AI, cloud, and product development. I specialize in Generative AI and RAG architecture β building document ingestion pipelines, AI chatbots, and intelligent search systems using Azure OpenAI, Azure AI Search, and Semantic Kernel.
At T-Mobile (via IBM): led a 18-person cross-platform engineering team building Arrow, T-Mobile's enterprise design system across web, iOS, Android, and AEM. Also led the GitHub Copilot rollout to 5,000+ developers value stream mapping, training workshops, prompt engineering programs, and automated onboarding infrastructure.
Outside of enterprise work, I built the complete React frontend for Gexbot a live options analytics platform with real-time WebSocket data streaming serving a large and growing trading community.
I'm a hands-on lead comfortable going deep on architecture, shipping code, and running teams. Currently looking to bring this to a product-focused company where I can build something that compounds over time.
