As an engineering leader and full-stack engineer with a backend focus, I bring a wealth of experience in leading teams and hands-on coding for scalable enterprise solutions. My expertise spans across Web2 and Web3 technologies, having contributed significantly to projects in diverse industries such as document management, blockchain, legal, telecommunications, and finance. I'm highly proficient in NodeJS, NestJs, ReactJs, NextJs, GraphQL, Dot Net, C#, and DevOps among others. My proficiency extends to blockchain engineering, with a solid understanding of Ethereum and Smart Contracts. I'm also adept at managing SQL as well as NoSQL databases and have significant experience with MSSQL, Postgres and MongoDB, and deploying CI/CD pipeline using Git Actions, Docker and Kubernetes. My passion lies in leveraging these skills to create robust, efficient, and innovative solutions.

I build the systems, then document them for compliance. Most AI governance help is one or the other: policy consultants who can't read your codebase, or engineers who've never mapped a control. I do both, and I hold the IAPP AIGP.
What I work on:
EU AI Act readiness. Article 50 transparency obligations took effect 2 August 2026 and apply now to anyone shipping generative, conversational, or synthetic-media systems into the EU. Article 50(2) marking requirements reach existing systems on 2 December 2026. High-risk obligations were deferred to December 2027, which is a readiness window rather than a reprieve, and the inventory and classification work has to start well before then.
Conformity documentation. I built a .NET application that generates structured conformity documentation from model artifacts, with a calibration harness that scores output against reference documents so reliability is measured rather than assumed. I can do this work manually for your systems or help you stand up something similar internally.
Framework mapping. Hands-on NIST AI RMF assessments and ISO/IEC 42001 control mapping, including where the two overlap so you're not maintaining parallel evidence for both.
The engineering underneath. Production C#/.NET services, Azure, Kubernetes, and Terraform, delivered under regulated change control with enforced separation of duties and tamper-evident change history. Governance advice that ignores how software actually ships tends to produce documents nobody can implement.
Good fits: AI Act gap assessments, model documentation and technical files, RAI program setup for teams without a dedicated function, or a second opinion on governance work already underway.
Send me what you're building and what regulation you're worried about, and I'll tell you honestly whether it's a fit.

Turning Software engineering into scalable cloud infrastructure and Rest API design.
My journey started in data science & analytics, where I built Python tools to clean. process, and analyze complex datasets. While working with data pipelines and automation, I developed a strong interest in backend systems and cloud infrastructure, which led me to specialize in Python engineering and Cloud DevOps.
I now design and automate scalable AWS infrastructure using Python and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) to support modern application and data-driven systems.
I previously worked as an AWS Infrastructure & CDK Engineer at TrendzAct, where I designed and deployed production-grade cloud environments and automated provisioning using Python-based AWS CDK projects and AI-based applications.
Instead of manual setup, I focus on automated, repeatble, and secure infrastructure that allows teams to deploy faster and scale efficiently.
What I Can Help With
• Design scalable AWS cloud architectures
• Build Infrastructure as Code using Python and AWS CDK, Terraform, Kubernetes
• Automate deployment pipelines and cloud provisioning
• Design VPC networks, VPN connectivity, and secure cloud environments
• Migrate on-premise systems to AWS
• Deploy backend systems using Lambda, ECS, EC2, and API Gateway
• Optimize infrastructure for cost, scalability, and performance

My specialty and proven track record is enabling founders to go from idea to production rapidly using an AI-driven, agentic software development process built around the following AI-centric pipeline:
Discovery → AI Transcription → AI-Optimized Spec → Test-first Development → AI and Human Code Review → Iterative Delivery → Production
Claude Cowork was written in 10 days utilizing this process.
My background: I’m a US based Fractional CTO & Software Architect with 20+ years of experience leading startups to funding. This combined with extensive experience leading mission-critical initiatives at large organizations like The Federal Reserve and Fannie Mae.
I work best with founders who want to move fast, stay lean, and get to a real, working product without unnecessary complexity.
Let's build something great.
