About

Builder, technical storyteller, and product leader with 20+ years translating complex technologies into compelling user experiences. My career has come a full circle: I started as an engineer building guidance and control software for space systems and computational fluid dynamics applications. I then spent two decades in product leadership at Oracle, architecting content management platforms and data services used by enterprise customers worldwide. Now I'm back to building—this time with AI. I'm currently designing and implementing AI systems including a production-ready GraphRAG application that combines knowledge graphs with vector embeddings and LLM integration. I write about what I build: my technical blog covers GraphRAG architectures, agentic workflow patterns, and how AI is transforming software development roles. What I bring to the table: • Full-stack AI development: Python, FastAPI, Svelte 5, TypeScript, LLM APIs • Deep technical foundations: PhD in Applied Mathematics, aerospace engineering background • Two decades of translating complex capabilities into products customers love I'm exploring opportunities where I can combine hands-on building with technical storytelling—roles in technical product marketing, developer relations, or solutions engineering at AI-forward companies.
