What I Do#
My career has spanned the full arc of modern software — from early Windows desktop apps to cloud-native microservices to multi-agent AI systems. I specialize in:
- Azure AI & AI Foundry — designing and deploying intelligent solutions at enterprise scale
- Agentic AI & Multi-Agent Systems — orchestrating autonomous agents for complex workflows
- Cloud-Native Architecture — building resilient, scalable platforms on Azure
- Application Modernization — migrating legacy systems to modern cloud stacks
- DevSecOps — embedding security and automation into the delivery pipeline

Microsoft Certifications & GrandMasters#
For nearly 14 years I’ve written and reviewed Microsoft certification exams through GrandMasters, a company that partners with Microsoft to develop technical assessments. This work keeps me deeply connected to the evolving Microsoft technology landscape and ensures I stay sharp across the platform.
Speaking & Community#
I’ve presented at Microsoft Ignite and internal Microsoft conferences, sharing insights on AI architecture, cloud adoption, and digital transformation strategy. I’m passionate about knowledge-sharing and helping the tech community level up.
The Human Side#
Beyond the code, I’m a proud father of two boys, married to my beautiful wife, and based in Tampa, Florida. I’m a passionate geek at heart — the kind who grew up typing RUN on a Commodore VIC-20 and playing Quake with the guy who would go on to create Stack Overflow.

As of 2026, Lisa and I have been married 27 years — still going strong. Our oldest, Bryce, is a USF Bull at the University of South Florida, where he’s thriving alongside his girlfriend Maris. Our youngest, Ethan, just graduated high school and is stepping into his next chapter with his girlfriend Kearstin by his side. Watching them grow into their own has been the most rewarding project I’ll ever work on.
