01 — What I do

I lead the team
and stay in
the code.

I architect solutions, lead teams of engineers, run hiring and reviews, own client relationships, and still write code when it matters.

Current focus: WordPress / headless CMS platforms, AI-assisted workflows, and modernizing legacy systems without breaking production.

How I run
a team

016 direct reports across two organizations
02Hiring to offboarding, sprint planning, performance reviews, mentoring
03Half my time with engineers, half with clients and stakeholders
04I push technical decisions down to the people closest to the problem
“Cut a multi-hour client workflow to minutes by shipping an AI agent the team now owns and maintains.”
03 — Selected work

What I've built

01

WordPress MCP Server

Content teams drafting by hand, cut off from AI tooling. I architected and built a WordPress MCP server.

→ Wired live to AI agents for content drafting, handed to the team.

02

Headless CMS Architecture

Enterprise clients outgrowing monolithic WordPress. I led the architecture.

→ Headless platforms decoupling content from delivery across clients.

03

AI Practice Buildout

No internal AI capability at Kalamuna. I built the practice from the ground up.

→ LangGraph, Pydantic AI and Azure OpenAI shipped into production workflows.

04

RFP Ingestion Tool

Multi-hour manual RFP review. I shipped an AI-powered ingestion agent.

→ Cut RFP review from hours to minutes; running without me since.

05 — Video intro

Prefer to hear it directly?

A recruiter asked for a video intro. I made a few. They've opened more doors than my resume.
