about me

I bridge the gap between
business problems and AI solutions.

Senior AI Engineer with 9+ years at Insightsoftware, Philips, and ADP. My work sits at the intersection of Agentic AI & RAG systems, .NET / React full-stack engineering, and customer-oriented solution design — with a rare Business Analyst background that ensures every system I build delivers real business value, not just technical output.

Enterprise AI Architecture

Designing production Agentic AI systems, Advanced RAG pipelines, and multi-agent orchestration using Azure AI Foundry, Semantic Kernel, LangGraph, and MCP — from architecture to deployment.

Full-Stack Engineering

End-to-end delivery with .NET 8 / C# Web APIs and React / Angular frontends. Comfortable across the entire stack — from SQL Server to React Native mobile apps.

Customer-Facing & Cross-Cultural

Direct experience working with customers across USA, Netherlands, Finland, Australia, and India — gathering requirements, designing solutions, and delivering value in globally distributed product teams.

Business + Technical Thinking

Rare combination: real-world Business Analyst experience from early career means I understand both sides. I translate complex business problems into pragmatic, high-value technical solutions — not just code.

Domain Expertise

Deep hands-on experience in Finance (disclosure management, XBRL, ERP), Healthcare (EMR, HIPAA, patient care platforms), and enterprise BI/analytics products at scale.

Collaborative & Mentor-Minded

Proven track record working in globally distributed Agile teams, contributing from requirements through production. Enjoy mentoring, sharing patterns, and elevating team engineering quality.

The best AI system is the one that solves a real business problem, ships to production, and earns the trust of the people who use it every day.
