Forward Deployed Engineer
I embed with customers, find the real workflow problem, and ship working software against it. 8+ years of enterprise technical sales and solution engineering across storage, cloud, and SaaS, now paired with hands-on Python, FastAPI, and applied-AI engineering.
Every project here is real code in a real repository — not a mockup.
Governed, evidence-backed GitHub issue triage platform
Built specifically to develop hands-on depth for Forward Deployed Engineer and AI Solutions roles. React + FastAPI app with Retrieval-Augmented Generation over PostgreSQL/pgvector, tenant-scoped RBAC, Celery/Redis background workflows, and full OpenTelemetry + Prometheus observability — with a human always in the approval loop.
Persistent AI project assistant / multimodal wearable AI
A local-first AI assistant with application-owned context — not model conversation memory. FastAPI backend with deterministic context retrieval and multimodal Investigation workflows that fuse screenshot evidence and spoken context into concise, glasses-ready guidance.
Production-style, end-to-end ML system
Production-style end-to-end MLOps pipeline featuring MLflow experiment tracking, DVC + AWS S3 data versioning, GitHub Actions CI/CD, and Evidently drift monitoring.
CIFAR-10 deep learning capstone
End-to-end image classification system with a deterministic TensorFlow data pipeline and transfer-learning architecture — configuration-driven preprocessing, augmentation, and model comparison.
A decade in enterprise technology sales and solution engineering, across SaaS, cloud, and infrastructure — the customer-facing foundation this pivot is built on.

8+ years running discovery, demos, and competitive positioning inside enterprise accounts at HPE, Sirius Computer Solutions, and BILL.com — I know how to sit with a skeptical technical buyer and figure out what actually has to be true for a deployment to work. Over the past year I taught myself to build, not just sell: Python, FastAPI, multimodal LLM integration, and applied ML, shipped as working code. That combination — customer-facing instincts plus hands-on delivery — is the muscle forward deployed work requires.
