About Me
I'm a Staff Software Engineer at Visa focused on agentic AI engineering - building LLM-powered agents, RAG systems, and evaluation frameworks. My background spans front-end development, application security, and now agentic systems, with a passion that extends beyond software into art, music, and geopolitics.
For nearly a decade, I've been part of Visa's software engineering team, most recently architecting agentic AI workflows that power a new white-label checkout experience for ecommerce merchants - work that tripled developer throughput and cut security evaluation time by 55%. I also serve as Security Champion for the platform, coordinating SSDLC remediation, CIAM, and Security Risk Assessments across every production release.
In 2026, I completed a postgraduate program in AI Agents for Business Applications at UT Austin's McCombs School of Business, building an AI-powered EHR assistant and a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) system for enterprise document Q&A - deepening my focus on agent orchestration, LangChain, and the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
I thrive on challenges and believe in the power of hard work, teamwork, and technical rigor to turn complex projects into successful ventures. My goal is to keep pushing the boundary between agentic AI and secure, production-grade software, using Agile principles to deliver value iteration after iteration.
Outside of Work
I'm a New York native currently residing in the vibrant city of Austin, Texas, with my wonderful wife and our twin children. When I'm not coding, I'm exploring my artistic side through Generative Art, spinning house and techno tracks as a DJ, or simply enjoying life's rhythm with my family.
I'm always open to new opportunities and connections. Let's connect!
