About

A short introduction — the full story lives on the resume page.

I help enterprise .NET teams adopt agentic AI — the messy, real version: guardrails, verification gates, RAG over your own data, and the process changes that decide whether the tooling actually gets used. 22+ years as an architect across managed cloud services, healthcare, insurance, travel, and HR. Today I own architecture and AI-adoption strategy for a multi-cloud management platform — driving discovery, reference architectures, and executive solution reviews, and running LLM workloads on Azure AI Foundry and AWS Bedrock inside enterprise security constraints. What I've learned the hard way: AI adoption fails on enablement, not capability. Rolling out an AI-first development process taught me that the framework is the easy half — onboarding, champions, and verification discipline are the half that decides the outcome. That lesson now shapes everything I build. In public: ► AI-First Development Playbook — a seven-phase agentic SDLC for teams, with verification gates and a command library ► TechieRag — a .NET RAG library (NuGet) ► TechieFlow — the solo-architect edition of the same philosophy Founder, NCR Cloud & Core Techies (500+ member developer community). C# Corner MVP. Conference speaker on .NET, cloud architecture, and AI application development. If you're a CTO, engineering leader, or architect trying to make agentic AI real inside a .NET estate — that's the conversation I want to have.

Restarting Blogging 3rd Time , What's New This Time

Every framework decays — that's the premise, not the problem. The problem is that a how-to has exactly the shelf life of the version it was written against, and I wrote almost nothing else. Three in five of mine were for a framework that's been discontinued; the most-read one is for a framework that's still thriving, and it's stale anyway. This blog writes at the layer that outlives the tooling: what I built, what broke, what it cost — including where I was wrong.
