AI Agent Development
Build AI-agent workflows with tool execution, guardrails, MCP integrations, and RAG-backed retrieval. Translate customer workflows into working product capabilities and integrations.
Forward Deployed Engineer at Aivato
I build AI solutions and automate infrastructure.
I develop AI agents and use AI to build, review, and troubleshoot Ansible playbooks, AWX workflows, and Terraform infrastructure as code. As a Forward Deployed Engineer, I carry customer solutions from discovery and live demos through deployment, SSO, integrations, and production handoff.
AI Development & Automation
Hands-on AI engineering and practical AI usage across software development, infrastructure as code, and production operations.
Agentic AI Solutions & Customer Delivery
Turn customer needs into working AI agents, tool integrations, and automated workflows. Build solutions that connect models to business systems, APIs, and knowledge sources through tool execution, MCP integrations, and RAG-backed retrieval, with guardrails around the actions agents can take.
Own the forward-deployed engineering work from technical discovery and prototypes through live demos, integration, deployment, and production handoff. Configure SSO and customer environments, troubleshoot adoption blockers, and translate field feedback into product improvements that make AI useful in day-to-day operations.
Forward-deployed delivery, end to end.
I bridge the gap between a capable product and a successful customer outcome—while staying technical enough to build, deploy, integrate, and troubleshoot the solution myself.
Forward Deployed Engineering: I stay with the customer outcome from the first technical conversation through the demo, deployment, SSO and integration work, troubleshooting, adoption, and feedback that improves the product.
From customer demo to deployed outcome.
The work is customer-facing and hands-on: understand the need, prove the workflow, configure the environment, integrate the product, resolve blockers, and leave the customer with something that works.
Forward Deployed Engineering at Aivato
Lead customer-facing technical delivery across live demos, solution configuration, customer deployments, SSO setup, integration troubleshooting, onboarding, and field feedback that shapes the product.
DeltaManager
Developed a harness comparison tool for engineering change analysis, compare reports, 3DXML parsing, CATIA-assisted workflows, and related automation.
SRE Automation
Created automation frameworks for operational remediation, Oracle installs, Vault-backed credential rotation, AWS SFTP, and containerized infrastructure modernization.
AI + Infrastructure Automation
Use AI-assisted development to author, review, and troubleshoot Ansible playbooks, AWX workflows, and Terraform infrastructure as code, backed by hands-on Linux operations experience.
Why RefugeOS and Valkyrie exist.
Not every project is about a ticket. Some projects are about refusing to let the machine stay mysterious.
Learning every layer
RefugeOS and Valkyrie came from wanting to understand every step of how a system works: boot, services, graphics, process boundaries, desktop behavior, packaging, and the little decisions that shape what users can actually do.

Need someone who can carry a customer from demo to deployment?
I’m open to Forward Deployed Engineer, customer engineering, solutions engineering, and technical implementation roles where strong product instincts and deep systems experience both matter.
