I work in AI, orchestration, and distributed systems, mostly building practical agentic platforms with Claude, Google Gemini, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) integrations.

I’ve spent time across Microsoft Copilot, Claude, and AWS Bedrock, and I’ve built MCP server integrations across a few content providers to make day-to-day work a bit smoother. I’ve also put together open-source projects like Educational GPT Agents and the agentic-dev framework, mainly to explore multi-agent coordination, RAG, and autonomous workflow execution.

I created the Oracle Preflight Pattern to help reduce AI hallucinations in production. Before my current role, I was Site Reliability Engineering Lead at PropertyMe, where I helped modernise AWS workloads, migrate petabyte-scale databases, and move EC2 applications to Kubernetes to improve security and resilience.

I’ve worked in Australia, the UK, and Russia, including time in London and Moscow. In London, I was Vice President of Operations at AutoGrid Systems, where I helped simplify a global infrastructure portfolio and save around $1 million a year through cloud consolidation, which supported the company’s sale to Schneider Electric.

I’ve also been Director of Technology, Cloud Engineering at Publicis Sapient, and spent more than a decade in the UK founding Secnix Systems and taking on architectural roles across financial institutions and government organisations, including Deutsche Bank, Nationwide, and the UK Government. Earlier in my career I was Head of Infrastructure Engineering for OilSpace in Moscow, focused on high-performance trading infrastructure.

My career started in the US Navy as a Submarine Fire Control Technician, where I worked on weapons, sonar, and navigation systems and taught the fleet on next-generation submarine network technologies. I later completed a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science at Eastern Connecticut State University, graduating Cum Laude.

I like building useful things, working with good people, and keeping the jargon to a minimum where I can.
