01
AI Engineer Lead
Owned the MCP and copilot integrations, reporting directly to the client CTO to maintain architectural direction.
Codify experiments, pipelines, and results in one governed foundation for trusted science, reusable assets, and AI-ready research workflows.
Outcomes
Ahead of roadmap. AI copilot integration shipped Q1 when the original plan had it landing Q3 two full quarters of velocity reclaimed.
Engineers embedded
“One accountable team, five specialist roles: AI Engineer, DevOps, Backend, Frontend, and PM all embedded, all reporting to one team lead.”
SOC2-ready by default
Every feature delivered with SOC2 controls baked in from day one. No retrofitting, no compliance debt left for the client to clean up.
Full-stack coverage
AI + DevOps + Backend + Frontend + PM. Every function covered by a dedicated specialist, not a generalist stretched thin.
Architecting Model Context Protocol integrations and agentic development assistants to scale production velocity.
Engineering multi-region Kubernetes clusters and automated pipelines under programmatic infrastructure blueprints.
Configuring robust Databricks pipelines and unified architectures to handle large-scale workflow automation data.
Hardening distributed backend architectures to maintain rigid data isolation and end-to-end compliance bars.
