I make complex technical work easier to deploy, support, and scale.

I lead technical deployment and support across hardware, software, partners, and field teams, then use automation and AI-assisted delivery to reduce manual work and improve reliability.

Leadership across operations, automation, and systems.

Technical Operations

Deployment, support, incident response, service reliability, and documentation.

  • Deployment operations
  • Incident management
  • Observability
  • Operational readiness

Automation & AI Enablement

Workflow design, internal tools, AI-assisted development, and process improvement.

  • Automation strategy
  • AI-assisted delivery workflows
  • CI/CD
  • Internal tools

Systems Leadership

Cross-functional delivery across partners, field teams, hardware, and software.

  • Technical programs
  • Systems integration
  • Partner operations
  • Team training

Technical operations leadership with measurable business impact.

A career built across field deployment, product support, partner operations, and technical service.

  3. Apple

    2010 — 2018

    Technical Support & Service

    Worked across the Genius Bar, AppleCare, and channel service support, developing a practical foundation in technical diagnosis, customer communication, and service quality.

    • 8 years of service experience
    • Technical training
    • Customer-facing diagnosis

How I build with AI-assisted tools.

I do not position myself as a traditional software engineer. I use AI-assisted development to translate operational problems into working software, automation, and documentation. I own the problem definition, requirements, decisions, testing, acceptance criteria and release quality, and operational result.

Working method

  • Requirements definition and decision records
  • Small, reversible implementation steps
  • Browser, runtime, and operational validation
  • Documentation and clear handoff states

Representative tools

  • AI coding assistants
  • TypeScript
  • GitLab CI/CD
  • Docker
  • Observability tools

Let's discuss work that needs a clear operational owner.

I am interested in teams improving how technical systems are deployed, supported, automated, and scaled across real users and operating environments.
