At Workday he’s shipped AI-infused developer tooling, including an LLM-driven Copilot judge and an AI agent for generating Extend app samples, showing a knack for turning bleeding-edge research into reliable product capabilities. He has deep experience migrating logging infrastructure (Elasticsearch to Grafana Loki), designing OpenAPI-first APIs, and instrumenting services for latency, saturation, and error-rate visibility. Based in Oakland, he pairs continuous learning in architecture and design with a passion for leveraging generative AI to boost developer productivity. Colleagues rely on him for thoughtful technical decisions and for bridging research prototypes into production-ready developer services.
