AI & data engineer

I build AI and data systems that hold up in production, and the full-stack products that put them to work.

// 01 — Approach

The work after the prototype matters most.

I work across the model, API, data, and interface layers needed to turn an AI capability into a product a team can operate.

Today that means AI integrations and data solutions on enterprise cloud platforms: MCP servers, Copilot Studio agents, and Microsoft Fabric pipelines. Before that, agentic workflows and conversational AI. On the side, I build and run full products, including one that has recorded thousands of real business transactions.

  1. 01

    Map the workflow first.

    Define the task, decision points, data boundaries, and failure states before choosing a model or agent pattern.

  2. 02

    Evaluate behavior before launch.

    Test response quality, latency, recovery paths, and the cases where the system should hand control back to a person.

  3. 03

    Engineer the surrounding product.

    Authentication, permissions, data contracts, observability, and interface feedback matter as much as the model call.
