Professional Summary
I design and ship agentic AI systems that run in production — not demos. Principal-level Solutions Architect with 21+ years across insurance, financial services, energy, and public sector, including Fortune 500 client delivery at Capgemini. Over the last 3 years, my focus has been end-to-end GenAI delivery: multi-agent systems with LangGraph, MCP, and A2A; production RAG; LLMOps and evaluation harnesses; and AWS Bedrock and Azure AI Foundry on multi-cloud Kubernetes (EKS, AKS). I have delivered cloud-native platforms processing 2M+ events/day and cloud migrations that reduced infrastructure costs by 45%. I also co-founded a startup that scaled to 50,000+ active users. Available for remote B2B consulting and Staff/Principal AI Platform roles worldwide, with EU/US time-zone coverage. On the Microsoft stack specifically, I have delivered production conversational AI on Azure AI Foundry with Azure AI Search as the retrieval and grounding layer — including a Portuguese public-sector assistant and a telecom enterprise agent — industrialized through Azure DevOps CI/CD and signed off on latency, answer quality, and cost before launch. I work end to end across pre-sales, POCs, pilots, and production delivery, translating business requirements into Azure-native solution architectures.
Core Competencies
