I write code. I am a software engineer, architect, and open-source contributor with 20+ years of experience building enterprise applications, cloud platforms, and developer tooling. My expertise spans Full Stack Java, Spring, Microservices, JavaScript frameworks, DevOps, Cloud Infrastructure, and AI integrated applications. I have hands-on experience with AWS, DigitalOcean, Docker, Terraform, Ansible, Jenkins, observability platforms, and modern software delivery practices including Agile, TDD, BDD, and CI/CD. In recent years, I have been actively building AI-powered applications using LLMs, Spring AI, AI Agents, local LLMs, embabel, and enterprise AI tools. I am the creator of Chat First AI, an open-source platform focused on bringing AI capabilities into real-world business applications. Through mentoring and consulting sessions, I help developers, architects, and technology leaders understand LLM fundamentals and successfully integrate AI into their Java and web applications using practical, production-oriented approaches.
