I help teams build the structure around AI agents: harnesses, context engineering, MCP integrations, and the guardrails that make autonomous systems safe to ship.
Designing how agents interact with your platform: tool discovery, permission models, write operations, and the patterns that keep agents productive without letting them run wild.
Building the persistent context that makes AI coding agents reliable, not just fast: verification harnesses, feedback sensors, scoped skills, and architectural guardrails.
Modernizing .NET/Angular/AWS platforms, shaping the intersection of org design, product, and engineering. Not just the code.
Digital Architect at the Government of Alberta, where I implement architecture strategy for Angular/.NET/AWS platforms serving provincial services. Before that, 20+ years shipping web applications across government, education, energy, and enterprise, including 12 years in edtech (Pearson/Chancery, Alberta Education) and platform work at EPCOR, Simon Fraser University, and GE.
InfoQ Certified Software Architect in Emerging Technologies. Recently attended QCon London 2026, applying what I learned about MCP, agent harness patterns, and architecture as code to real platform work.
Currently building in public, writing about what I'm learning as I go.
If you're exploring how agents fit into your platform, or modernizing how your teams work with AI, I can help.
