Architecture-first
Before any system is built, the architecture is designed to hold up under real load, real cost, and real compliance — not retrofitted later when problems surface.

AWS Solutions Architect
GenAI architecture and AI governance, designed in from day one — on AWS, certified, defensible.
The current wave of AI deployments is teaching companies the hard way that building a working prototype is the easy part. What’s hard is designing for what comes next — real data scale, real cost discipline, real security boundaries, and real regulatory compliance.
I design AWS-based systems that work — not as slideware, but as architectures that scale, hold up under real load, and stay defensible when the compliance and governance questions come. My focus is GenAI and AI-system architecture, with governance frameworks like the NIST AI Risk Management Framework designed in from the start, not bolted on at the end.
I bring an unusual combination: deep AWS architecture (full certification stack including Solutions Architect Professional and the GenAI Developer credential), formal AI governance credentialing as a Certified NIST AI RMF Architect, and 15 years before that as second-in-command of an operating company — so the architecture decisions account for how a business actually runs, not just how the technology behaves.
How I work
Governance designed in
AI risk and governance requirements are built into the architecture from day one, using frameworks like NIST AI RMF. Compliance becomes a design property, not a remediation project.
Tradeoffs made explicit
Every architecture is a set of tradeoffs. I make them deliberately and explain them clearly — so the business decides with full visibility, not after the fact.
Operating-company perspective
Fifteen years inside an operating company means architecture decisions account for how the business actually runs, what it costs, and where the real risks live — not just what the technology can do.
