Enterprise AI · Systems Transformation
Most architects hand off the design. I build it. I've shipped AI platforms, replaced countless vendor processes worth six to seven figures a year, and delivered production systems inside $300M+ organizations.
- Design and ship AI platforms on Azure OpenAI, AI Search, and Fabric. In production, not slides.
- Deliver full-stack systems end-to-end: no handoffs, no context loss, no excuses.
- Turn enterprise inefficiency into automated pipelines, then own the result.
Architect + Builder
I design the system and ship it. No handoff, no translation layer, no intent lost between the two.
AI-Native
Building production LLM platforms before they were mainstream: RAG pipelines, vector search, Azure OpenAI running live.
ROI-Driven
Every AI use case I evaluate has a number attached. 20+ scoped across feasibility, budget, and business impact.
A rare mix of technical depth and business fluency.
I sit at the intersection of solutions architecture, AI enablement, and systems transformation. And I build what I design. No handoffs, no lost context, no "that's someone else's job."
Across Azure, Microsoft 365, enterprise ERPs, and modern web stacks, I move from whiteboard to production without losing fidelity. I understand the business problem, architect the right solution, and deliver it.
I have done this inside $300M+ organizations: eliminating six-figure vendor costs, indexing thousands of documents into AI-searchable knowledge systems, and shipping internal platforms that people actually use.

Systems I designed and shipped. Each with a measurable outcome.
Invoice Automation Platform
Replaced it entirely with a custom Azure-native pipeline: SharePoint ingestion through OCR and validation to ERP publishing.
- Ingests from SharePoint, deduplicates, and routes through OCR via Azure Document Intelligence
- Normalizes and stages data in Microsoft Fabric lakehouse and warehouse layers
- Custom AP review UI publishes validated records to CMiC via API
The Outcome
Eliminated six figures in annual third-party spend and gave the team full control over invoice validation, dedup, and publishing.
Internal AI Knowledge Platform
Built a company-wide AI knowledge system that surfaces answers from over a thousand internal documents in seconds.
- Vectorizes and indexes 1K+ company documents via Azure AI Search
- SharePoint ingestion pipeline with near-real-time refresh on source changes
- Scalable foundation for future AI-enabled workflows across the org
The Outcome
Near-instant semantic search across 1K+ documents, with automatic refresh when source files change.
Enterprise Intranet Modernization
Led a full company-wide overhaul: custom web parts, internal apps, dashboards, and governance across 500+ users.
- Custom SharePoint web parts and department-specific page experiences
- Internal applications, KPI dashboards, and role-based permission architecture
- Governance standards and naming conventions for long-term scalability
The Outcome
Centralized operational knowledge for the entire organization with a modern permission model and consistent experience.
Buyer Selection and Workflow Platform
Custom platform that standardized option management, enforced business rules, and connected directly to ERP.
- Guided selection workflow with built-in business rule enforcement
- ERP-connected for accurate downstream takeoff and purchasing data
- Reduced coordination rework across three internal teams
The Outcome
Eliminated selection errors and rework across purchasing, estimating, and operations for a 230+ home pipeline.
