Wired monitoring configuration through Azure Bicep across 5 tenant repositories so every client environment reports errors.

Turn business needs into technical designs each week using architecture patterns, collaborating with client directors and non-technical stakeholders to produce clear design specifications, which keep projects aligned and enable on-time delivery as the project's sole technical liaison.

Pioneered specification-driven development at CEI, evaluating and implementing Spec Kit, BMAD, and custom agent frameworks toward an agentic SDLC adopted by the 10+ person AI team.

Build large language model (LLM) prototypes in Python with LangGraph and Pydantic AI, then demo them to client engineers to close gaps in their AI roadmap.

Onboarded at least 10 client and consultant engineers onto a healthcare account, using documentation they still run applications from.

Serve as the client-facing technical contact on a 5-year engagement, working directly within the customer's repositories and systems, which streamlined issue resolution and improved overall project communication.

Served as sole technical interviewer for a healthcare client account, conducting 70 interviews at a 75% placement rate to staff the account's growth from 1 to 50+ consultants at $1M+ per month recurring.

Built member-facing single-page applications with TypeScript, JavaScript, HTML, and CSS, applying responsive web design so health plan members could find care providers online.

Ran production deployments with the client's OpenShift DevOps team, moving 7 applications through 4 test environments and customer change approval.

Designed and deployed the production Azure infrastructure with Terraform, provisioning VMs, networking, and storage, increasing availability and reducing deployment time.

Gathered requirements from the client's call center managers, translating their daily workflows into rules 5 client analysts now edit monthly.

Resolved production incidents by taking emergency calls, using Azure monitoring and CI/CD pipelines to restore the client's service, and reported status to the IT director until the issue was closed, ensuring minimal downtime.
