Employment
Five roles. The same through-line: take a system that is already in production, find the seam that actually matters, and make the next change cheaper than the last one.
Allstate · 2025 — now
Multi-step agents on Bedrock, retrieval over insurance data, and decision APIs that actuarial teams can actually call.
Northwestern Mutual · 2024 — 2025
Millions of financial events a day. The p99 was the product. Stream layout and backpressure were the work.
Terracon · 2022 — 2024
Anti-corruption layers, traffic shaping, and feature flags so the old system could die without a big-bang weekend.
Johnson Controls · 2023
Sensor fleets, an MQTT broker, and a time-series store. The backlog was measured in minutes. It needed to be seconds.
Uline · 2021 — 2022
Enterprise Java, a 4.2-hour batch, and a coverage number that did not match the risk of changing it.
