Technical Architect at PNC Bank Financial Services
Technical Product Architect with over a decade of experience at the intersection of enterprise banking systems, regulatory technology, and operational resilience. He serves as the technical architecture lead for 36 enterprise banking applications at PNC Financial Services, including 12 mission-critical systems supporting fraud detection, AI platforms, and regulatory reporting. I am the originator of five applied research frameworks that address critical gaps in financial infrastructure governance: the Latent Systemic Fragility (LSF) model, which quantifies how technical debt propagates as systemic risk across banking infrastructure; the rSPACE framework for dependency-aware resilience scoring; the Regulatory Impact Propagation Model (RIPM), which identifies 30–50% more impacted systems in regulatory change assessments than manual processes; the Regulatory Change Impact Index (RCII); and the Developer Experience Measurement Framework (DX-MF), which quantifies the productivity cost of compliance overhead on engineering teams. My peer-reviewed research has been accepted at IEEE ICIMIA 2026, ISMAC 2026, IEEE ICCDS 2026, and IEEE IC2NC 2026, and published in FECSIT journal (DOI: 10.64917/fecsit/Volume03Issue02-01).

Founder | Cloud Architect at DevOps Cloud Consult
Most companies don’t have a scaling problem - they have an invisible cloud cost and architecture problem. Over the past 15+ years, I’ve helped SaaS and FinTech teams redesign AWS environments that were expensive, fragile, and over-engineered - turning them into secure, automated, and cost-efficient cloud architecture serving regulatory-grade workloads. If your AWS bill keeps growing faster than your revenue, or your infrastructure feels harder to change every month, we should talk. Since 2026, I operate as an independent architect, taking focused B2B engagements where deep AWS expertise moves the needle fast.

Founder & System Architect (AI) at KORIX
I design and build the systems that let a business run AI without losing control of it. KORIX is an AI agent deployment agency. We put agents to work inside the software a client already runs, on a Bring Your Own Software model, so nothing gets ripped out and nothing new has to be learned. Every agent works under one rule: it may prepare any judgment, but it never issues one where being wrong lands on a person who has to answer for it. Most of our work is with service businesses in the UK and US, particularly aesthetic clinics, medical spas, and premium fitness and wellness brands, where a missed enquiry or a wrong reply costs real money and real trust. Before KORIX I spent close to two decades shipping software, from Java and mobile development through project and delivery management, which is why the work is systems first and demo second. KORIX is an OpenAI Select Partner and an authorized Zapier Silver Solution Partner. I have been quoted on AI agent governance in GENZ TECH. Happy to talk about: what AI actually automates in a clinic or studio front desk, how to keep a human sign off without slowing work down, why green dashboards can be more dangerous than red ones, and what goes wrong when agents run unsupervised.
