What I Bring to the Table

🎯
Production Experience: I don't just theorize — I've built AI systems handling FDA compliance, nuclear safety, and national infrastructure.
🔍
Observable by Design: Expert in OpenTelemetry-compliant tools like LangFuse, LangSmith, Phoenix, and Jaeger. I build AI with complete traceability — learned from managing 116,000 devices at Oracle.
Compliance Expertise: Survived 38 enterprise audits. I know how to build AI that passes FDA, SOC-2, FedRAMP, and nuclear regulatory requirements.
📊
Proven ROI: Reduced Oracle's outages by 58%, saved 844 engineering hours/year, accelerated deployments by 10 weeks.
🌐
Community Leader: Founded Austin LangChain AIMUG (1,600+ members), actively contributing to the ecosystem.

Current Focus Areas

AI Consulting - Always Cool AI

Building observable AI systems you can trust. I bring the same discipline that reduced Oracle's outages by 58% to AI implementations.

  • Full-Stack Observability: Complete traceability using LangFuse for LLM observability, OpenTelemetry for distributed tracing, Phoenix for ML monitoring, and Grafana for visualization
  • Open Source First: Specializing in open-source observability tools that avoid vendor lock-in while maintaining enterprise-grade capabilities
  • Evaluation & Testing: Implementing Ragas and DeepEval for automated quality assessment alongside continuous monitoring
  • Compliance-Ready: Every decision traceable, every metric auditable — built for FDA, nuclear, and government requirements

Operational Leadership - Always Cool Brands

As Co-Founder handling Engineering & Finance, I run real operations in regulated industries — giving me practical insights into where AI actually creates value.

  • • Real-world testing ground for AI automation in FDA-regulated environments
  • • Deep understanding of supply chain and compliance requirements
  • • Battle-tested solutions that have prevented millions in potential violations
  • • Practical experience scaling from startup to production

Strategic Advisory - KeyBanc Mosaic Team

Advising investment professionals on how technology drives portfolio value and competitive advantage.

  • • Technical due diligence and risk assessment
  • • Technology strategy for sustainable growth
  • • AI adoption roadmaps and implementation planning
  • • Full-stack analysis from infrastructure to AI

Speaking & Workshop Topics

I share hard-won lessons from the trenches, not theory. Recent topics include:

  • • "From POC to Production: LangGraph in Regulated Industries"
  • • "LangFuse + OpenTelemetry: Building Observable AI at Scale"
  • • "Open Source Observability Stack: LangFuse, Phoenix, Jaeger, and Grafana in Production"
  • • "AI Compliance Without Compromise: FDA, Nuclear, and Beyond"
  • • "Lessons from Hyperscale: What Oracle Taught Me About AI"
  • • "The MCP Revolution: Building Interoperable AI Systems"

Recent Impact

Food Tech Startup: Reduced ingredient validation time from 12 months to 12 weeks using LangGraph-powered automation. Zero compliance violations in 18 months of operation.

Nuclear Energy Partner: Implemented 100% traceable AI decision system with complete audit trails. Every recommendation backed by source documentation and confidence scores.

Austin LangChain AIMUG: Growing from 0 to 1,600+ practitioners in 18 months. Regular hackathons, workshops, and production deployments emerging from our community collaborations.
