Fractional Enterprise Solutions Architect | AI Strategy · LLM Integration · Data Architecture
I'm an Enterprise Solutions Architect and AI integration specialist with 15+ years building the data infrastructure, automation systems, and governance frameworks that complex organizations depend on.
My work lives at the intersection of data engineering and applied AI. I design LLM-powered workflows that actually ship - not slide decks about AI, but working integrations using Anthropic Claude, OpenAI, and Google Gemini deployed in regulated production environments. I have hands-on experience with RAG pipelines, multi-step agentic orchestration, and model evaluation at scale.
What I bring to a fractional engagement:
→ Data architecture that scales - ETL/ELT pipelines, MDM frameworks, cloud data warehouses (Azure, AWS, GCP)
→ AI-powered automation - from Zapier and Make to LangGraph and custom API integrations
→ Enterprise system integration - Salesforce, Workday, Oracle, SAP, ServiceNow, and more
→ Executive-level communication - I translate complex technical decisions into business outcomes
Currently retained by a leading AI laboratory as a subject matter expert in database architecture. Simultaneously leading data technology strategy for a national political communications firm. Open to additional fractional engagements across industries.
