Senior AI Engineer • Veteran • Founder
I build production AI systems, ship enterprise platforms, and train veterans to do the same.
Currently architecting LLM-powered investment intelligence at Vista Equity Partners, where I design multi-stage AI pipelines processing company data for a $100B+ portfolio. Previously shipped production AI systems at Microsoft for Kroger, Starbucks, Walgreens, and Domino's. Built unified agentic AI platforms at McGraw Hill using LangGraph and LangSmith.
As founder of Vets Who Code, I've trained 300+ veterans in software engineering — graduates now work at Microsoft, Google, Amazon, and Home Depot, with $20M+ in collective earnings.
