Who I Am

I'm a senior software engineer based in Jersey City, NJ with 10+ years building full-stack applications and enterprise platforms across advertising, finance, and aviation. Right now I'm leading internal developer platform engineering at Omnicom, where I focus on self-service cloud provisioning and AI agent governance.

I'm particularly interested in where AI meets developer tooling — from MCP-based agent architectures to using LLMs to accelerate the way teams build and ship software.
