Independent consultant — agentic infrastructure. I help teams ship systems where LLMs hold real authority — agents that call tools and touch production data — without that authority going wrong: MCP servers, LLM gateways, policy layers, and the SRE discipline underneath. Roughly thirty years of production infrastructure: VoIP → DevOps → cloud platforms → this.
Currently available for fixed-scope work. I run a five-day Agentic Architecture Review — fixed scope, fixed price, no land-and-expand. The rubric it scores against is public; you can self-assess first.

Off the clock: cyberdecks, microcontrollers, and 3D printing. In a previous life I crewed for everyone from the Pet Shop Boys to Bowling for Soup.
