SUMMARY

14 years building at the intersection of platform and partner. I’ve shipped AI agents, Copilot plugins, reference architectures, and demo systems used by hundreds of engineers — at Cisco, Splunk, and Atlassian, with partners ranging from global SIs to Microsoft and AWS.

I don’t just advise partners on what to build. I build it with them.
