AI Engineer
I design and deploy AI solutions — from LLM-powered applications to production ML pipelines — that drive real business outcomes.
Fine-tuning, RAG pipelines, LangChain, and knowledge assistants that unlock organizational intelligence.
Azure ML, Docker, CI/CD, and model lifecycle management from experimentation to production.
ETL pipelines, cloud infrastructure, and Azure Data Factory solutions that make data reliable and accessible.
20+ years leading technical teams, translating complex data problems into actionable decisions.
I build AI systems that move from prototype to production. At Transtecs, I design and deploy LLM-based solutions, fine-tune open-source models, and engineer end-to-end ML pipelines. Previously at PRA Group, I architected the organization's first cloud-native ML infrastructure on Azure, cutting deployment time by 40%. At Microsoft, I built GenAI knowledge assistants using RAG and LangChain.
Before tech, I spent 24 years in the U.S. Navy — leading teams of up to 30, analyzing satellite and sensor data for mission-critical forecasting, and building tools that automated processes long before it was trendy. I hold an M.S. from the Naval Postgraduate School and an MEM from Old Dominion University.
