Outcomes I deliver
The kind of results I bring to an engagement — measured, in production, under real constraints.
Work with me
Need a second opinion, a fractional leader, or someone to build and ship it? Here's how to put 25 years to work.
AI Platform & Agent Advisory
Architecture reviews, agent-system design, and a senior set of eyes on your AI roadmap before you bet the quarter on it. Fixed-scope sprints or an ongoing retainer.
- Platform & agent-system architecture review
- LLM orchestration & MCP infrastructure strategy
- Security, SOC 2 & AI-governance review
- Technical due diligence
Fractional VP Platform / AI
Senior platform & AI leadership without a full-time hire. I own the roadmap, set the standards, hire and level up the team — and still write the hard parts.
- Platform & AI roadmap + standards
- SRE, SOC 2, FinOps discipline
- Hire, mentor, and unblock the team
- A few focused days a month
Build the system, to production
Hands-on engagements where I come in and ship it — the agent platform, the Rust service, the Kubernetes/AWS infra — production-grade and SOC 2-ready. Fixed scope, real delivery.
- Agent runtimes & LLM platforms in Rust
- Kubernetes / AWS / Terraform infra
- Production-grade, regulated-ready
- Clear scope, shipped
Open to the right full-time role
If it's genuinely the right fit, I'm open to VP / Staff / Principal AI-Platform roles too — someone who owns the platform strategy and writes the hard parts.
- VP/CTO-level + still hands-on
- AI platform & agent systems
- 25 years across hard, regulated domains
- Let's talk
Selected Work
A few systems I designed, built, and shipped end-to-end — pick one and go deep.
On-Chain Trading & Blockchain Infra
Production blockchain across Solana, Ethereum, Polygon & Cosmos — an on-chain staking program for a sports-betting product, plus an order-management system and trade-signal/data pipelines for Polymarket.
Enterprise AI Governance
Secure, audited, fully-tracked LLM usage via Obot & Bifrost — centralized access control and per-team cost attribution across a ~50-engineer organization.
Risk & Trading Platforms
Architected AWS/Azure infrastructure for quantitative analysis and risk modeling at an insurance-linked-securities firm — 99.999% uptime, SOC 2, FinOps cutting infra spend 35%, while AUM scaled from ~$800M to $15B.
Open Source
~37 public repos — Rust, AI agents, and the plumbing in between.
Experience
Twenty-five years turning infrastructure into leverage — and teams into platforms.

Tell me what you're trying to ship. Most engagements start with a 30-minute call to see if I'm the right person for it.
