AI-Driven Development

I'm pioneering AI-driven development workflows and building innovative solutions that leverage artificial intelligence to enhance developer productivity and create smarter applications. My latest project, VitalWall.com, is a real-time website analytics and visitor tracking platform that helps businesses boost engagement and conversions through intelligent data visualization and social proof.

As a Frontend Architect and Engineering Leader with a passion for creating exceptional user experiences, I combine over two decades of software development expertise with cutting-edge AI technologies. I've led teams and architected solutions for companies ranging from startups to Fortune 500 enterprises.

Leadership & Impact

Currently serving as Lead Applications Engineer at one of the world's largest consulting firms, where I lead SAP Composable Storefront implementations for a major global entertainment company, managing digital ticketing and guest experience platforms across multiple international theme park destinations including Japan, Hollywood, and Orlando. I architect and maintain complex e-commerce systems that handle millions of family visitors annually, creating seamless digital experiences from initial ticket purchase through immersive in-park experiences. My work integrates ticketing, merchandise, mobile experiences, guest services, and specialized seasonal events that create lasting memories for guests of all ages.

Previously, I served as Senior Experience Engineer at SapientRazorfish, where I architected and led development of multiple interactive prototypes for world-class brands including MGM Resorts. I specialized in translating complex business requirements into scalable technical solutions while mentoring development teams.
