/ Agentic Transformation
Leading the shift from tools to autonomous AI teammates
Engineering organizations that embrace agentic AI don't just move faster — they think differently. I architect and lead teams that integrate AI agents as first-class contributors, transforming how software gets designed, built, reviewed, and shipped.
Agents as Team Members
AI agents — Copilot, Squad, Claude Code — are not autocomplete. They are autonomous contributors with defined roles, memory, and accountability. I design organizations where humans and agents collaborate with clear handoffs.
Agentic Workflows
From issue triage to PR review to deployment, I build pipelines where agents handle routine work autonomously — freeing engineers to focus on architecture, product decisions, and creative problem-solving.
Measurable Impact
Agentic transformation is not abstract. I track cycle time reduction, defect escape rates, and engineering velocity — delivering 60–75% improvements in key delivery metrics across programs.
Human-AI Upskilling
The hardest part of agentic transformation is cultural. I coach engineering teams to think in agents, prompts, and workflows — making AI augmentation a sustainable competitive advantage, not a one-time experiment.
Tools & Platforms
/ Featured Projects
A selection of professional work, published apps, and experimental prototypes.
LLM-Based Automated Judging System
Designed a Large Language Model–based automated judging system enabling consistent, scalable evaluation of submissions. Reduced manual review time by 60% while improving scoring accuracy across multiple domains.
Cache: Service Bus Consumer
Multi-threaded, multi-application-service-bus consumer written in Java that stores compressed information enabling post-mission debrief and analysis of distributed UCI systems.
Interactive Learning Mission Planner
Applied interactive learning to achieve 80% improvement in automated aircraft route creation. Architected a composable system through Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) design patterns with automated test event metrics.
