Summary
I’m a senior software engineer and AI architect focused on applied AI research and real-world enterprise systems. My work centers on LLM orchestration, agent design, and retrieval-augmented generation pipelines, turning cutting-edge AI capabilities into secure, scalable, production-ready platforms. At WorkWave, I help drive AI-led modernization across legacy payroll and compliance systems, building tools, frameworks, and workflows that accelerate developers, unlock new revenue, and shape how large organizations safely adopt AI.
Key Achievements
- Technical Leadership & Innovation
Won 1st place in the company hackathon with Logic Loom, proposing an AI-agent–driven modernization strategy for WinTeam; solution advanced into Skunk Works and later full modernization efforts, where I now act as a technical leader and mentor. - Modernization of Legacy Systems (WinTeam6)
Built and optimized high-traffic APIs supporting WinTeam6, improving performance, reliability, and maintainability while operating within strict compliance and payroll constraints. - Enterprise Integrations & Platform Delivery
Led backend API design and delivery for the DailyPay integration across iOS, Android, eHub, and WinTeam services, collaborating directly with external vendor teams and internal architects to support revenue-critical payroll workflows. - Compliance, Payroll & Tax Systems
Delivered and hardened features across compliance, payroll, and tax domains, improving system stability and correctness in business-critical financial workflows. - Cross-Team Collaboration & Scale
Worked closely with distributed external engineering teams and internal product, design, and architecture stakeholders to scale AI-assisted development workflows and accelerate modernization across the platform.
