Work with me

Bring in 31 years of hands-on engineering.

Principal-level architecture and delivery — without the overhead of a full-time hire. Enterprise automation, cloud platform strategy, AI integration, full-stack engineering.

What I build

Six areas where I engage.

Enterprise Automation Architecture

Orchestrator queue design, REFramework replacements in pure C#, Human-in-the-Loop platforms, Document Understanding pipelines. Built for scale — not just to run.

Bot Rescue & Recovery

Stalled projects, silent failures, inherited code nobody understands. I diagnose, triage, and get automation running again — then make it maintainable.

Cloud Platform Strategy

AWS ECS deployments, Docker containerization, Terraform infrastructure-as-code, Spacelift, GitHub Actions CI/CD. Cloud migrations that reduce overhead instead of adding it.

AI & Intelligent Automation

Claude API integration, ML model deployment, Document Understanding training, intelligent decision routing. Making automation systems context-aware instead of brittle.

Full-Stack Platform Engineering

React frontends, .NET Core APIs, SQL data layers, cloud-native architecture. End-to-end platform builds — not just the API, not just the UI, the whole thing.

How it works

Straightforward engagement.

01

Schedule an intro call

Book a free 30-minute call below. Come with the problem — I'll come with questions. No sales pitch.

02

Scope & agreement

If there's a fit, we define the engagement: hours, deliverables, timeline. I work on retainer or by project — not by the hour with an open-ended meter running.

03

Delivery

I work directly, not through a layer of project managers. You get me, my tools, and 31 years of judgment about what to build and what to skip.
