About

I help enterprises run agentic AI in production without getting burned by it.

Thirty years in operations, DevOps, and cloud infrastructure taught me to watch for one pattern, and it repeats with every wave of technology: the hype arrives before the operational discipline does. Agentic AI is the current wave, and the gap between what teams deploy and what they can safely control is wide.

At Accenture LearnVantage I lead the AI workforce transformation stream. I advise leadership and engineering teams on adopting agentic AI, build the reference implementations that prove it out, and rebuild how that capability reaches the organization. That last part is concrete: replacing manual lab provisioning, content generation, and site updates with agent-driven automation cut five-to-eight-week turnaround cycles down hard.

The throughline is Agentic Covenants, a governance and security model for agentic AI. It starts from something I learned the expensive way: guardrails enforced by the AI tool itself are bypassable. Guardrails enforced by infrastructure are not.

I build MCP servers, run Claude Code daily, and ground the work in real Kubernetes and platform engineering rather than slideware. Around ten AWS certifications, plus CNCF and NVIDIA. In 2026 alone I have spoken at KubeCon, SREday, LLMday, DevOpsDays Atlanta and Portland, Agent AI Day Zurich, and KCD Texas.
