Summary

AI technical lead who designs and ships LLM applications and production AI agents, and owns whether the work actually landed. I build agentic systems with tool calls, per turn context assembly, persistent memory and long running sessions, and runtime redirection by non engineers without code changes. I design evaluation systems and keep the harness trustworthy enough for the metrics to mean something, telling a broken eval harness apart from an underperforming model. I work AI assisted (build with Claude Code daily, with informed views on its strengths and limits), read code (Python, TypeScript), and make product, UX and build vs buy calls on problems that arrive without a spec. I run on Azure with Docker and CI/CD. 15+ years shipping software that real users rely on. English C1.
