Key Achievements
Enterprise AI Steering & Tooling
- Architected global AI steering systems that inject infrastructure context, auth patterns, and security guidelines into AI coding sessions — measurably improving output quality and reducing token costs across the engineering org
- Built and standardized a suite of reusable AI infrastructure: MCP servers for production log querying and Faker + Playwright-driven test data generation, an AI agent for Threatlocker issue resolution, and a New Relic MCP integration
- Established enterprise-wide AI tooling strategy in partnership with SVP, standardizing how the engineering team interacts with AI across multiple repositories and stacks
AI-Assisted Full-Stack Delivery
- Delivered a fully branded white-label mobile health app for AutoZone employees end-to-end via spec engineering and Kiro — including IDP login, custom discount card wallet, branded onboarding, and CI/CD updates for Xcode 26 — with zero prior mobile experience
- Engineered an AI skill to auto-generate regression harnesses for major version security updates, unblocking critical security debt across dozens of unmaintained microservices and turning a months-long effort into an automated workflow
- Rapidly delivered a Next.js test data generation app at SVP request using AI-assisted development (Claude Code + kiro-cli), demonstrating AI as a force-multiplier for solo, time-sensitive delivery
