“Technology leader who built a unified platform for Fox live sports production operations starting in 2019, delivering an initial operational system on an ~18-month timeline while simultaneously scaling an in-house engineering team from a service-provider partnership. Led a security architecture for external vendors/partners using a separate Okta instance with zero-trust and passwordless authentication, and drove adoption through strong change management, documentation, and agile execution.”

“Hands-on LLM/RAG engineer with production experience improving retrieval quality and stability by addressing messy data, vector DB inaccuracy, and top-K issues—ultimately redesigning to hybrid search with tuned keyword/semantic weighting and MCP-based data supplementation. Also brings strong AKS/Kubernetes deployment experience, optimizing CI/CD speed via lightweight local Docker validation and decomposing pods to avoid full rebuilds, plus a metrics-driven approach to agent/workflow testing and traceability.”
