Philosophy

AI handles the repetitive; engineers own architecture and edge cases. 90% of migration code was AI-generated, but engineers approved every change before deployment.

Created TRW, an open methodology framework for AI-assisted software development. Built persistent memory, structured workflows, and quality gates so AI coding agents compound discoveries across sessions and projects instead of resetting to zero.

  • Built 19 MCP tools with 6-phase execution lifecycle, quality gates, and automated verification for AI coding agents.

  • Designed multi-agent coordination and persistent cross-project memory. Discoveries compound across sessions. 2,600+ tests. In beta across 5 coding platforms.

MCP

Promoted to Staff from Engineering Manager (2+ years total at Unicity, Nov 2023 - Jan 2026). Led AI-powered modernization for a global platform (53 markets). Built the multi-agent system that made 289 endpoint migrations possible. (IC track — AI migration systems and tooling)

  • AI Migration System: Built multi-agent AI system with 5 specialized sub-agents automating 90% of migration code generation. 289 API endpoints migrated at 96% production traffic, hours of manual work reduced to under 10 minutes per endpoint.

  • AI Sprint Intelligence: Built pre-grooming system using historical transcripts as KB, double-blind validated at ±1 story point accuracy. 2.5x team velocity, 13% sprint efficiency gain.

  • QA from Zero: Built 0 to 1,500 automated test cases driven by business requirements, not AI-generated boilerplate.

  • AI Governance: After an AI agent broke production by modifying AWS routing tables, designed read-only AI accounts, DevOps approval workflows, and failure-as-state design principles.

Hired to migrate a 289-endpoint legacy system to Laravel. Achieved 96% production traffic with zero major incidents while driving $336K+ annual cost savings. (Management track — platform modernization and delivery)

  • Platform ROI: Delivered $336K+ annual savings (cloud $278K, DataDog 62.5% reduction, RDS $32K) while improving reliability — 34% faster response times, 4x order processing capacity.

  • Observability Infrastructure: Built on-call rotations, automated alerts, monitoring dashboards, and a debugging toolkit (Redis/Xdebug/BPF) reducing MTTR 95%. Adopted organically across the engineering org.

  • Developer Metrics: Built 50 per-developer daily/weekly reports. Support overhead dropped from 25% to <5% through data-driven tooling.

Joined right before COVID hit and order volume went through the roof. Built the Operations engineering team from zero (just me) to 9 engineers, broke it into specialized squads, then transitioned to lead all three teams through a monolith-to-microservices migration during COVID-19 10x traffic surge.

  • Team Builder: Built Operations engineering from 0 (solo) to 9 engineers across 3 specialized squads. Platform recognized internally as the benchmark for Testing, Stability, and Innovation.

  • COVID Resilience: Engineered backend optimizations handling 10x traffic surge during COVID with zero scaling incidents while competitors experienced significant downtime.

  • Immediate Impact: Boosted application performance 87% in the first 90 days.
