Open Source Repo: Reference implementation built with Chainlit, LangGraph, Qdrant, SearXNG, Firecrawl, and Ollama. Includes automatic PDF/HTML ingestion and bounded tool-calling architecture.
Microsoft & Siemens: Overhauled global partner programs and ecosystem strategies as Senior Program Manager and Alliance Director, unlocking substantial multi-million dollar revenue channels.
Analytics & Open Source: Maintained automated reporting infrastructure and open-source Tableau XML parsing utilities on GitHub.
Operational Leadership: Directed regulatory compliance and high-stakes risk management across clinical healthcare facilities and commercial diving operations, backed by clinical certifications (EMT, CHT, DMT).
AI Security Translation: Translates rigorous, zero-fail operational discipline and physical safety management into secure enterprise AI governance and risk frameworks.
My career has moved from computer engineering into product, business, and program leadership; through commercial diving and hyperbaric operations; into analytics and data; and back to hands-on AI systems.
