I lead the global Automation & AI division at a major e-commerce company, where I founded the organization's first dedicated AI team and scaled it from 2 to 7 engineers in 12 months. I combine deep enterprise IT infrastructure command (GCP, Okta, Active Directory, Intune) with hands-on AI delivery (n8n, LLM pipelines, RAG, MCP servers), owning the full lifecycle from stakeholder intake through architecture, delegation, validation, and production support.

- Automation & Build: n8n, Python, FastAPI, Cloud Run, webhook architecture, API integration, approval-gated agents
- Cloud & Infrastructure: GCP, AWS, Azure, Active Directory, Okta (SSO, 60+ apps), Intune
- Leadership: building teams from zero, cross-departmental delivery, requirements translation, program and performance management
Key Achievements
- Delivered 20 automation initiatives in four months: ~$520K+ recurring annual savings and 850+ man-days saved per year across 12+ departments
- Architected an MCP-based AI toolset for Google Ads and Meta campaign analysis, replacing manual queries with pre-calculated business signals: ~$234K recurring annual savings
- Built a Jira-driven, GenAI creative production pipeline on n8n across 50+ asset workflows: $116K recurring annual savings
