Resume
Senior Software Engineer — Agentic AI, Local LLM Infrastructure & Platform Engineering
20 years building and running the systems other people depend on — Linux infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, containers, databases, and the DevOps/SRE plumbing that keeps all of it standing up. These days the focus is agentic AI and the infrastructure underneath it: I run local LLMs on AMD GPU hardware (ROCm, Vulkan, llama.cpp, vLLM, Lemonade) and build multi-agent engineering workflows on the Model Context Protocol with Claude Code and OpenCode — no API bills, no data leaving the box.
I’ve worked every layer, from the kernel up to owning a company’s largest enterprise accounts, so I can both ship the thing and make the case for it to the people signing off. What I’m good at is technical direction: figuring out where AI actually earns its place instead of where it’s merely fashionable, then getting a team there. Open source contributor, ham radio operator (KN4FHS), and Eagle Scout.
Experience
Full-stack systems engineering across software development, middleware, databases, DevOps, and infrastructure — with container orchestration, platform automation, and CI/CD operated at enterprise scale. Now focused on agentic AI: standing up local LLM infrastructure on AMD GPU hardware (ROCm, Vulkan, llama.cpp, vLLM) and building the multi-agent workflows and Model Context Protocol tooling that bring those models into everyday engineering.
Owned the company's largest enterprise accounts at the time — Microsoft Azure, PNC Bank, and Cisco — as the technical lead for adoption, retention, and success across high-value CI/CD deployments. Turned complex delivery pipelines into outcomes that both executives and engineers could act on.
Contract release engineering and DevOps — build and deployment automation across the release pipeline. Converted to a full-time role elsewhere.
Systems engineering and DevOps across Red Hat infrastructure.
Backend systems engineering on CentOS-based infrastructure — database administration, infrastructure design, and DevOps.
Front-line technical support, installation, and consulting for the Catapult point-of-sale platform.
Systems administration, technical support, and PHP development.
