Professional Overview
Senior AI solutions architect and automation consultant with 17+ years shipping products at HP, Rackspace, Phoenix Contact and BioNTech. I build working AI systems, not slide decks: LLM integration, agentic workflows, RAG, and MCP-based orchestration on AWS. Recent results: automated away a 3-year operations backlog at HP in 5 weeks (90% effort reduction), built the LLM tooling BioNTech's product management adopted while working with 35+ C-suite stakeholders, and cut staffing costs 70% plus infrastructure costs 30% at Phoenix Contact. Author of 7 open-source AI tools (~140K lines of code), including ForkCast, a multi-agent prediction engine with 16 evaluation gates. Currently fractional Business Unit Leader (EU) at Interas Labs and founder of DMello Advisory, where I run AI Workflow Sprints with a working-software guarantee: your team runs the tool the next morning, or you don't pay the final invoice. Python, TypeScript, AWS, Claude API, multi-agent systems. Remote, immediate start.
