## Leadership & Consulting

Frequently the lead developer and client-facing consultant on enterprise builds: translating business goals into technical plans, aligning stakeholders across departments (and across companies on consolidation projects), making architecture and ROI trade-off calls, and keeping delivery teams unblocked. Embedded-consultant experience includes mentoring client engineering teams while coordinating multiple stakeholder groups.

## AI Practice

Uses AI daily as a senior engineer: the developer makes the calls and owns the architecture; AI does the busy work. Builds MCP integrations and custom RAG pipelines, runs local models (Ollama) for sensitive workloads, and treats security, context limits, and evals as engineering primitives. Advises clients on where AI fits, which platforms to use, and how to adopt it responsibly.
