Summary
Michael Lipscombe is an Applied AI Architect with over a decade of experience helping enterprises modernize integration and cloud-native systems, now focused on practical AI adoption and production-grade agentic workflows. His background as a BizTalk specialist and former STP manager for Credit Agricole informs a rare combination of deep enterprise integration expertise (BizTalk, FIX, SWIFT) and platform architecture skills across .NET, Azure, Kubernetes and secure supply chains. He has repeatedly rescued stalled projects and accelerated delivery—turning legacy mainframe and ERP migrations into on-time, production successes and mentoring teams through technical and cultural change. At Forgd.ai he embeds with engineering teams to deliver working systems and transferred capability using Claude Code, emphasizing shipped code over slide decks. Based in Denver, he blends hands-on engineering, customer-facing consultancy, and a pragmatic focus on measurable business outcomes. An understated strength is his ability to translate regulatory and operational constraints into robust, auditable integration solutions that scale.
