Most AI systems break down at the workflow level, not the model itself. I design, build, and document AI-driven systems that take unstructured inputs and turn them into structured, validated data, from end-to-end AI agents and RAG pipelines to the documentation and content that support them. With 20+ years in software development and 8+ years in technical writing and content strategy, I work at the intersection of engineering, automation, and communication. I build systems, structure them, and make them usable. What I Do 1. AI Agent Development & Workflow Automation * Build end-to-end AI agents for real business workflows * Design RAG pipelines for data extraction, validation, and generation * Work with structured outputs (JSON), prompt orchestration, and decision logic * Integrate with APIs, SaaS platforms, and internal systems * Design human-in-the-loop workflows for reliability 2. Content Strategy & Thought Leadership * Turn complex systems into clear, authoritative narratives * Write thought leadership, white papers, and long-form SaaS/AI content * Extract and structure founder and SME insights * Use story architectures and narrative depth maps for clarity and depth 3. Technical Documentation & Systems Design * Create developer docs, SDK guides, and knowledge bases * Build scalable documentation frameworks * Standardize structure, terminology, and workflows * Align documentation with product and business goals Selected Experience 1. AI Agent & Workflow Systems (Internal Platform): Designed AI workflows using RAG pipelines to process unstructured inputs, extract and validate data, and support downstream automation.
