About

I’m a Technical AI Architect and Engineering Leader with 14+ years of experience building scalable software platforms, leading engineering teams, and turning complex product requirements into reliable, maintainable systems. My career has been rooted in hands-on engineering and product architecture, with deep experience across Unity, C#, scalable modular systems, distributed content platforms, multiplayer technologies, CI/CD, LiveOps, analytics, and performance optimization. Over the years, I’ve progressed from Game Programmer and Senior Game Programmer to Lead Game Programmer, Functional Manager, and Technical Manager—combining technical depth with people leadership, delivery ownership, architecture, and product thinking. Today, I’m focused on becoming an AI-First Engineer and building practical AI-enabled systems that create measurable value for engineering and products. My current AI architecture interests and capabilities include: • Generative AI and LLM-powered applications • Agentic AI systems • AI Gateway architecture • Model selection and integration patterns • Knowledge retrieval platforms • Document extraction and AI-assisted Q&A • MCP integrations • Prompt engineering • AI development standards and governance • Data-flow and cost/control architecture I particularly enjoy working at the intersection of technology, architecture, product, and people—where the challenge isn't simply building a feature, but designing systems that can scale, evolve, and remain maintainable over time. I bring a strong balance of: → Hands-on engineering → Architecture & system design → Technical strategy → Engineering leadership → Product thinking → Performance & scalability → Team development → AI-driven innovation I’m passionate about building reusable engineering foundations, improving development velocity, mentoring engineers, and helping teams move from ideas to production-ready products. My goal is simple: build better systems, enable better teams, and continuously evolve as an AI-first technology leader.
