AI and Agentic Build Work

Not a lab exercise. Every build below shipped inside a live enterprise workflow, on a days to weeks cadence, with documentation and a named owner at handoff.

Production AI Agents

Owned: inventory accuracy across ERP and warehouse systems, where manual reconciliation was absorbing planner hours and inflating safety stock. Decided: to build the fix as a governed AI agent, not a scripted batch job, so exceptions get reviewed instead of blindly applied. Result: deployed in Oracle AI Agent Studio with an agent registry and human in the loop review, cutting cross system mismatches by 40%.

MCP Servers Over Enterprise Systems

Owned: the security review that could have blocked AI agents from ever touching the ERP estate. Decided: against direct API keys or a shared service account. Result: built MCP servers over Oracle Fusion REST APIs so every agent transaction carries the same authentication, authorization and audit trail as a human user, which is what got agentic workflows approved for a regulated financial close process.

Integration Builds

Owned: the case for retiring 11 legacy applications the business assumed were too risky to touch. Decided: to prove the target estate could carry the load before asking anyone to sign off on removal. Result: more than 20 OIC integrations connecting Fusion to WMS, MES and SCADA, sequenced so no plant lost visibility mid cutover.

Business Facing Point Solutions, Built for Handoff

Owned: program visibility for a $1B transformation that had no real time signal, only backward looking status decks. Decided: to build the evidence instead of asking for another status meeting. Result: three Visual Builder control towers that caught a $190K schedule variance early enough to recover it, each handed to a named owner with no continued builder dependence.

Attributes

How I Work

Four habits that hold across every engagement, regardless of the workflow I rotate into.

01

Bias toward delivery

Builds inside real workflows rather than producing demonstrations disconnected from operations.

02

Business curiosity

Understands the process and the source of friction before proposing a solution.

03

Handoff mindset

Measures success by whether the business can operate and support the solution independently.

04

Creative within guardrails

Uses established standards to move quickly and consistently rather than working around them.

Where I Would Start

The highest value build is usually the workflow nobody has decided to fix yet, the one running on a spreadsheet or a person's memory because it never looked urgent enough to prioritize. In the first 90 days I would find that workflow, ship a working version in weeks rather than quarters, and deprioritize anything that only produces a demo. The test I hold myself to: can the business run it without me by day 91.

Track Record

Experience

Fifteen plus years building and running technology inside $1B+ manufacturing and CPG enterprises.
