About
Hands-on data and software engineer with 20+ years of experience, currently focused on AI-powered solutions and modern data infrastructure. I'm actively building with AI tools daily—using ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, n8n, and Replit to accelerate development and create intelligent automation systems. I closely follow the AI space and integrate cutting-edge technologies into production workflows. I've scaled data infrastructure at Meta, built automation solutions for my own business (Convalytics), and am currently architecting enterprise systems with Neo4j and Databricks.
Seeking opportunities to work in AI where I can combine deep technical expertise with hands-on AI development experience.
AI & Emerging Tech Focus
Actively working with and experimenting with the latest AI tools and frameworks. I follow the AI space closely and integrate these technologies into production workflows daily. My hands-on experience spans from using AI for development acceleration to building AI-powered automation solutions.
AI-Assisted Development
Daily use of ChatGPT, Claude, and Cursor for code generation, debugging, and architecture design
AI Workflow Automation

Rapid Prototyping
Using Replit for quick AI experiments and proof-of-concept development
Seeking AI-focused roles where I can leverage my 20+ years of engineering experience with cutting-edge AI technologies. I bring both the technical depth to architect scalable systems and the hands-on AI experience to ship modern, intelligent solutions.
