About

I am a technology leader with over a decade of architecture and engineering leadership, with the last 3 years focused on AI SDLC and AI PDLC platforms alongside high-performance ecommerce engineering.

Beyond platform engineering, I enjoy the human side of technology and community. I like to cherish a cup of tea on rainy days, travel to new places, write as a blogger, contribute to open source, and share practical insights as a public speaker at meetups and conferences.
