About

Compound Engineering | Systems Architect | Tech Veteran

I’ve navigated every major tech shift over the last 25 years: from the first desktop computers to the mobile revolution. Now, I’m focused on the most significant shift yet: The move from generative AI to Agentic Systems.

Engineering the Future of Work

I don’t just use AI; I build the systems that make it reliable for the enterprise. My work focuses on Compound Engineering—the art of combining multiple AI models and tools into cohesive, high-performance systems.

Currently, I lead a specialized team of Forward Deployed Engineers. We specialize in looking at complex business bottlenecks and, in a matter of weeks, architecting and deploying agentic workflows that radically accelerate those processes.

What I’m Focused On

Most of the current AI hype lives in chatboxes. I am interested in the engineering reality of what comes next:

Compound Systems over Single Models: Why the “best” AI isn’t a better prompt, but a better-orchestrated architecture.

Radical Acceleration: Leveraging agentic loops to reduce development and business process cycles from months to days.

Nimble, AI-Augmented Teams: Reimagining the modern workforce by building small, elite teams that move faster than traditional departments.

Background

Author: AngularJS Blueprints and Microfrontends with React.

GDE: Served as a Google Developer Expert for 5+ years.

Experience: Two decades leading global teams to build high-scale web, mobile, and headless commerce solutions.

I’m always looking to connect with people who are moving past the AI hype and into the engineering reality of what comes next.
