My career has always led me to engaging within all facets of engineering, product, and customer needs. I started in enterprise support, moved into QA and automation, and eventually into software engineering — not to leave the customer-facing work behind, but because I wanted the technical depth to actually solve the problems I was seeing. That path gives me something most engineers don't have: I can write the code, run the demo, shape the requirements, and explain the tradeoffs to a non-technical stakeholder in the same conversation.
Lately I've been focused on AI-assisted engineering and product workflows — using Claude, Cursor, MCP, and agent-style processes to turn Jira tickets, documentation, codebase context, and product requirements into clearer acceptance criteria, implementation plans, and review support. I care about AI as practical infrastructure for better delivery, not novelty.
