Summary

Solutions Architect and AI workflow designer with 15+ years across agency, freelance, and product environments — and 25 years running concrete, masonry, tile, stone, hardscapes, LVP, and interior/exterior finishes alongside the tech career. Most recently led a full platform migration (BigCommerce / Akeneo / Celigo) at a nationally recognized brand while simultaneously adopting AI-augmented development pipelines — including an automated website build workflow and a spec documentation system for AI-assisted engineering that collapsed one build to approximately 2.5 hours of active development time.

Knows firsthand what it takes to deploy AI that actually works in production: the planning, the guardrails, the prompt engineering, and the experienced human judgment required to catch where models break down. Open to roles where AI augments experienced teams rather than replaces them.
