Builder first,
manager second
I'm an AI Engineering Manager based in Atlanta who has spent 10+ years at the intersection of production systems and machine learning — not in research, but shipping real things that run in the real world.
My background spans a decade at Stitch America where I built the AI infrastructure from scratch: a $500K/yr RAG chatbot, a hybrid semantic search system using Pinecone and Ollama, a custom MCP server bridging AI tools to internal databases over HTTPS, a multi-agent Meta ad automation pipeline (Gemini + GPT-4 + Meta Graph API), and a ViT-based ML pipeline across 40K+ design files. Before that, I spent 2 years at Apple on the Maps rollout team resolving geospatial data defects at scale.
What sets me apart: I'm equally comfortable in a system design doc and a stakeholder presentation. I've led teams of up to 10 and managed budgets over $2M, but I still write the architecture.
I hold a B.S. in Business Administration from the University of Tennessee and am currently completing the AWS Solutions Architect – Professional and Azure AI Engineer certifications.
