Hands-On Technical Lead

Senior engineer with around 9 years of experience designing data pipelines, AI systems, and cloud infrastructure. I specialize in requirements gathering and architectural planning, then stay hands-on through delivery.

I create better architectures than the race cars I drive, but I continue to be alive and racing so I think we're all just going to be just fine.

About

I'm a senior engineer with around 9 years of experience building data pipelines, AI systems, and cloud infrastructure from the ground up. I led technical work at Precoa for seven years, designing backend services and AI solutions for a B2B platform serving insurance and service-based businesses across the country.

I start every project by listening. Before picking tools or writing code, I run workshops with business stakeholders to define requirements, assess technical feasibility, and align on success metrics. Then I design the architecture, write the code, build infrastructure with Terraform, and wire up CI/CD for safe, observable delivery.

I'm currently consulting independently through Sirius Software Architecture, building custom data and software solutions for small and medium-sized businesses. My work spans AI systems, data pipelines, cloud infrastructure, full-stack applications, and embedded hardware projects.

What I Do

I work across architecture and execution, with a focus on shipping production-grade systems that are observable, secure, and built to scale with teams and data.

DevOps and Delivery

I build CI/CD pipelines with Terraform, automated testing with PyTest, and containerized deployments with Docker. Teams I've worked with ship faster with less overhead and better visibility into what breaks and why.

AI and Generative AI

I design and implement AI orchestration workflows using models from OpenAI, Anthropic, and LLama. I've built RAG pipelines, report validation agents, and custom prompt libraries, with MLOPS practices baked in from the start.

Data Engineering

I design ingestion pipelines for data lakes and warehouses using Python, SQL, Snowflake, and AWS Lambda. I build for data governance, security, and compliance from day one, not as an afterthought.

Cloud Architecture

I scope and build solutions on AWS using Lambda, API Gateway, Lightsail, DynamoDB, SNS, SQS, and EventBridge. I select services based on workload shape, cost visibility, and long-term operational complexity.

Embedded and Hardware Projects

I apply software engineering discipline to hardware-focused systems, including telemetry integrations and tuning tools for motorsport hardware where real-world correctness is non-negotiable.

Leadership and Requirements

I run technical workshops with business stakeholders to surface requirements, define feasibility, and set success metrics. I've trained teams in AWS and Python while staying hands-on through delivery.
