I’m an engineering leader with 13+ years of experience building and operating Data, Cloud, DevOps and AI platforms and solving complex technology problems in enterprise environments. My focus is on Forward Deployed Engineering (FDE) — taking ambiguous business problems, translating them into technical solutions, and getting those solutions into production. I bring experience across the entire journey: Business Problem → Data → Architecture → AI/Agents → Engineering → Cloud → Production → Observability Areas I can help you with 🚀 Forward Deployed Engineering What FDE really is and how it differs from traditional Software Engineering Transitioning from Software / Data / Cloud / DevOps into FDE Customer discovery and technical problem solving System design and architecture Working with ambiguity and rapidly delivering solutions FDE interview preparation and career strategy 🤖 AI & Agentic Engineering Generative AI and LLM applications RAG and enterprise knowledge systems AI Agents and MCP LLMOps and AI evaluation Taking AI POCs into production AI architecture, scalability, reliability and cost 📊 Data Engineering Designing scalable data platforms and pipelines Batch and streaming architectures Kafka, CDC and event-driven systems Data integration and data quality Data platforms for AI / ML applications Building the data foundation required for GenAI and AI Agents ☁️ Cloud & Production Engineering AWS, Azure and GCP Kubernetes and cloud-native architecture DevOps / MLOps / LLMOps Observability, reliability and performance Security and cost optimization Production-grade enterprise systems 🎯 Career & Technical Leadership Data / DevOps / Cloud → AI Engineering Engineer → Senior Engineer / Engineering Manager Technical leadership and architecture Interview preparation Career positioning and growth strategy What you can bring to a session Bring me a real problem, not a theoretical question. It could be: • An AI system you want to take to production • A data architecture you're designing • An AI agent you're building • A cloud/platform problem you're struggling with • An FDE role you're preparing for • A career transition you're considering We'll break down the problem, challenge the assumptions and create a practical path to execution. I believe great engineering isn't about knowing the most technologies. It's about connecting data, software, AI and infrastructure to solve the right problem.
