Professional Experience

Architected and delivered a confidential platform from concept to launch-ready over a two-year engagement. The project is complete but unlaunched at the close of the contract; product, client, and implementation details remain under NDA. The engagement was the production proving ground for a distributed offline-first graph store, semantic data modelling, mouldable interfaces, and planning-oriented interaction design — patterns now published openly through RelationalFabric and related writing.

Led technical improvements and platform modernization, including semantic web implementation and design system development.

Guided architectural evolution for API classification systems, combining ML solutions with platform modernization.

Led architecture development for the Entellect data platform, supporting enterprise data integration initiatives.

Developed a rules-based product recommendation service and integrated a schemaless product catalog with a recommendation engine.

Built a rule-based system with Clojure, ClojureScript, and Datomic for runtime business logic modifications without core code changes.

Managed an R&D team, exploring new technologies and advising on best practices, focusing on data-driven architectures and technology advancements.

Led a scrum team transitioning from a monolithic platform to discrete services, introducing technologies like ElasticSearch, Jenkins, and Vagrant.

Developed and maintained the PHP/VoiceXML platform, implemented coding and security standards (PCI/DSS), and mentored development teams.

Maintained and improved a C++ IVR platform, enhancing uptime and developing voice applications.

Exploring the intersection of emerging and forgotten concepts in software through open-source projects and long-form writing. Recent threads include relational data systems, type-level programming, and agent-native development methodology.
