🧠 About Me

I’m a transitioning tech professional with a systems engineering mindset and a sharp focus on AI innovation. After supporting enterprise-scale cloud platforms at Slalom Consulting, I’ve pivoted into AI engineering — currently completing a WIOA-approved certification in Artificial Intelligence Technologies, including LangChain, Transformers, NLP, and CNNs.

I specialize in:

• Cloud-native AI workflows using Azure and AWS
• GenAI pipelines with LangChain, LlamaIndex, and vector databases
• Infrastructure-as-code and CI/CD automation
• Modular documentation for onboarding and training

My approach blends technical rigor with instructional clarity — whether I’m building critter-resistant garden solutions or designing export-ready learning guides. I’m seeking remote or hybrid AI engineering roles starting January 2026, where I can contribute to scalable GenAI systems, cloud deployment, and practical innovation.

💼 Professional Experience Summary

I’m a systems-minded tech professional with 5+ years of experience in cloud automation, infrastructure-as-code, and platform engineering. Most recently, I supported Boardwalk Pipeline Partners as a Platform Engineer at Slalom Consulting (2021–2023), where I led AWS automation, Terraform workflows, and CI/CD deployment strategies.

Prior to that, I held Systems Engineering and SRE roles focused on modular troubleshooting, defensive programming, and scalable cloud operations across Azure and AWS. I’ve designed onboarding guides, built resilient infrastructure, and applied instructional design principles to technical documentation.

Now transitioning into AI engineering, I’m completing a WIOA-approved Artificial Intelligence Technologies program (Oct 2025–Jan 2026), gaining hands-on experience with LangChain, Transformers, NLP, CNNs, and vector databases. I bring a methodical, modular approach to GenAI pipeline development and cloud-native AI deployment.

🎓 Most Relevant Education

Currently enrolled in the Artificial Intelligence Technologies program at Visible Edge Institute (Oct 2025–Jan 2026), a WIOA-approved curriculum designed for career transition into AI engineering. Key components include:

• LangChain, Transformers, and NLP
• Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs)
• Vector databases and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG)
• Preparing for IBM AI Developer certification

This program builds directly on my cloud automation background and equips me to design, deploy, and document GenAI pipelines using Azure and AWS.
