Experience Highlights

Agentic AI and Ephemeral RAG

Early in 2025 we developed an AI product for a leader in the hospitality industry that was funded by Google's DAF program. We've Also had the chance to help do design on a a few other larger projects that require more than one agent to achieve a variety of business requirements.

GCP Infra for Master Card Provider

Our client needed to implement a new best practice design for their cloud based systems, including adding an intrusion detection system after their first attempt failed. We designed a proper cloud architecture with best practice network and engineered the project, as well as assisted with some SOC 2 compliance afterwards. This organization is still one of our customers.

SaaS Platform Design and Build

My org Cloud Pathfinder Services Inc built the first SaaS platform for our client in 2024, though I was never a fan of the original figma design that had been handed to us. We also built the entire backend and a portion of their decentralized cloud service to support the rental of GPU backed VMs on their network. Eventually were were given permission to upgrade the 2.0 platform with our own design for their upcoming rebrand in late 2025, and we are now in the early stages of helping them do a re-brand to a new name and a beautiful decentralized cloud dashboard.

Government Services in Azure

I am not at much liberty to speak about what I do here other than to mention that I have designed and and led engineering for best practice cloud landing zones, as well as provided solutions for several security related challenges to both a branch of the Canadian government, and also a US government service provider with national reach.

Terraform & Cloud Landing Zones at IBMs Nordcloud

was a Google Cloud Architect on this project and was responsible for development using Terraform, Terragrunt, Terratest (golang based), GitHub Actions, and I was solely responsible for remodeling the product documentation for version 2.0. The Landing Zone product is a product to manage the design of a GCP organization in a best practice format.
