Founder/CEO @ iEmpyrean · Former CTO / Founding Engineer · 10+ years in software engineering

I build and lead ambitious products, platforms and AI-enabled engineering systems — from 0→1 architecture and hands-on delivery through Principal Engineering, enterprise AI enablement and technology strategy.

My career spans high-trust financial products, greenfield platforms, design systems, engineering leadership, forward-deployed AI and full-SDLC AI enablement.

Portfolio · LinkedIn · iEmpyrean

• Principal Engineering & Architecture — software, solution and platform architecture; system design; scalability; reliability and technical direction.
• Applied AI & AI Enablement — GenAI, LLM-enabled workflows, AI SDLC, MCP, evaluation, governance and AI-assisted engineering.
• 0→1 Product & Platform Engineering — taking ideas from technical discovery and prototype through production launch and scale.
• Technology Leadership — Staff/Principal engineering, CTO responsibilities, engineering mentorship, roadmapping and stakeholder leadership.
• Full-Stack & Design Systems — TypeScript, React, Next.js, Node.js, APIs, design systems, UI architecture and accessibility.

Admiral Group — Principal Engineer, AI Enablement
Defined AI-enabled approaches across requirements, design, development, testing, release and monitoring, helping embed governed AI practices across the software development lifecycle.

Experian — Senior Full-Stack Engineer
Helped deliver Credit Lock, a high-trust consumer capability designed to help protect customers against fraudulent credit applications.

Digiblez — Founding Engineer → Staff → Principal → CTO
Built a greenfield platform from 0→1, established architecture and engineering foundations, created a company-wide design system, technically led the engineering team and ultimately owned technology strategy and delivery.

iEmpyrean — Founder / CEO
Building purpose-led digital platforms and shared technology, beginning publicly with iPray.

I’m especially interested in work at the intersection of:

Principal Engineering · Applied AI · AI Enablement · Platform Architecture · Product Engineering · Technology Leadership

I remain open to the right full-time, contract and consulting opportunities where I can combine hands-on engineering depth with architecture, AI enablement and technical leadership.

AI & Enablement
GenAI · LLMs · AI SDLC · MCP · Prompt Engineering · AI Evaluation · AI Governance

Architecture & Delivery

1. Applied AI / AI SDLC reference project — evaluation, guardrails, testing and observability.
2. 0→1 platform architecture case study — architecture decisions, diagrams and trade-offs.
3. Design system starter — tokens, accessible components, documentation and testing.
4. Forward-deployed AI reference implementation — discovery → prototype → integration → evaluation.
5. Engineering leadership notes — ADRs, architecture principles, delivery standards and strategy examples.

Build the product. Shape the architecture. Improve the engineering system. Enable the team.
