Principal consultant and hands-on software architect with 15+ years of experience designing and delivering scalable, cloud-native systems end to end. I lead architecture and engineering across AI/LLM-powered applications, distributed event-driven platforms, and full-stack web products, translating business goals into resilient, well-governed solutions. Core focus areas: Azure-native AI and agent architecture (Azure AI Foundry, LLM agents, RAG and knowledge retrieval, human-in-the-loop workflows, evaluation and observability, MCP), enterprise solution and microservices architecture, infrastructure as code and platform engineering (Terraform, Kubernetes, CI/CD, managed identity and RBAC), cloud infrastructure (Azure, AWS, GCP), and real-time data streaming (Kafka, Flink). I pair technical leadership with deep delivery experience — mentoring teams, driving engineering best practices, and shipping production systems that scale.
