About

AI & Full‑Stack Architect, Principal Software Engineer, and creator of stAI, the fully‑engineered Ubuntu VM for AI builders and full‑stack developers. I’ve spent 15+ years building enterprise systems across robotics, banking, law enforcement, and cloud platforms — from warehouse‑automation microservices at Symbotic (NASDAQ: SYM) to intelligence‑led policing systems and large‑scale data pipelines for CIBC, BMO, and Mercedes‑Benz. My work spans LLM engineering, RAG pipelines, vector databases, full‑stack platforms, robotics microservices, and blockchain investigation. I built stAI to give developers a clean, production‑ready environment with pre‑configured AI + full‑stack tooling — the same environment I use to teach students how to build real AI systems end‑to‑end.
