Applied agentic AI

Turning manual workflows into dependable agents.

Leading product and engineering delivery for agentic developer experience, digital concierge, and knowledge systems—grounded in customer workflows, measurable quality, and human control.

What I drove

  • Designing Python and LangGraph orchestration, execution guardrails, and isolated infrastructure for untrusted code.
  • Building RAG ingestion, retrieval, grounding, and evaluation workflows with Microsoft Foundry and Agent Framework.
  • Defining success through task accuracy, latency, cost, escalation behavior, and workflow completion—not demos alone.

Product invention

Using data to make payment decisions more confidently.

Led technical product management for strategic North American open-banking use cases, combining API strategy, payment-risk decisioning, and industry interoperability.

What I drove

  • Defined requirements, API contracts, and success measures for predictive payment-risk capabilities.
  • Co-invented payments-related patent applications and helped shape North American product direction.
  • Assessed Finicity and Plaid capability gaps and contributed to Financial Data Exchange task groups.

    Turn ambiguity into choices, success measures, and a shared direction.

  3. 03

    Build

    Work through the technical detail with the people shipping the product.

  4. 04

    Scale

    Use production evidence to improve performance, adoption, and resilience.

04

What I bring

Breadth with a point of view.

01

Product direction

Strategy, discovery, roadmaps, prioritization, governance, and business cases rooted in customer and platform realities.

02

Platform depth

APIs, payment networks, open banking, data integrity, integrations, architecture, and high-availability operations.

03

Applied AI

Agent orchestration, RAG, evaluations, traces, guardrails, exception paths, and human-in-the-loop operating models.

04

Hands-on delivery

Python, TypeScript, Next.js, FastAPI, C#, Java, SQL, Swift, and the judgment to use code where it accelerates outcomes.

05

Experience

Built from both sides of the roadmap.

My career began in software engineering and architecture, then expanded into product, client, and commercial leadership.
