My Services
I help teams bring AI into the core of how they design, build, and ship software — from agentic system architecture and AI-assisted delivery to full-stack, accessibility, and SEO engineering, backed by 15+ years in production.
ai-architecture
I architect generative and agentic AI systems end to end — MCP integrations, subagents and multi-agent orchestration, RAG, and prompt engineering across Azure AI and Google Cloud (ADK, LangChain/LangGraph). Anthropic Claude Certified Architect and Azure AI Engineer (AI-102).
- MCP integrations & multi-agent orchestration
- RAG & prompt engineering
- Azure AI + Google Cloud (ADK, LangGraph)
- Claude Certified Architect · AI-102
ai-enablement
I help engineering teams put AI at the core of how they build and ship — Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, spec-driven development, and an AI-augmented SDLC. I turn individual experiments into a repeatable delivery practice across the org.
- Claude Code, Copilot & Cursor rollout
- Spec-driven development
- AI-augmented SDLC
- Repeatable org-wide practice
full-stack
I build and lead production web systems at enterprise scale — Drupal 8–11 multi-site platforms, PHP-based frameworks, and React/Next.js design systems — with 15+ years delivering and maintaining complex, long-lived codebases.
- Drupal 8–11 multi-site platforms
- PHP-based frameworks
- React/Next.js design systems
- Enterprise-scale delivery
accessibility-seo
I engineer for accessibility and discoverability from the start — WCAG auditing automation (a11y MCP server, axe-core, Playwright), JSON-LD / Schema.org structured data, and SEO-aware engineering baked into the build rather than bolted on after.
- WCAG auditing automation
- a11y MCP server, axe-core, Playwright
- JSON-LD / Schema.org structured data
- SEO baked into the build
security
I harden sites and recover them after incidents — malware and vulnerability remediation, security hardening, and restoring access after a compromise — drawing on a Technical Director background across 50+ delivered web projects.
- Malware & vulnerability remediation
- Security hardening
- Access restoration after compromise
- 50+ delivered web projects
cross-stack
I move across the whole stack — front end to embedded — matching the tool to the problem instead of forcing one framework. 15+ years in production means I pick up an unfamiliar stack fast and stay sharp in the ones I already know.
- Front end to embedded
- Right tool for the problem
- Fast ramp on unfamiliar stacks
- 15+ years in production
