At work

I’m a Machine Learning Engineer at ADP, in the role since August 2026 and at ADP since July 2024. I teach developers to build, test and deploy AI agents, and I debug their agent integrations when they break in production. The stack: Strands Agents, MCP and AWS Bedrock AgentCore.

I also set up LLM tracing and evaluation with Arize AX and OpenTelemetry/OpenInference.

The roles and results in full

Studying

I’m pursuing an M.S. in Computer Science with a Machine Learning specialization at Georgia Tech, online and part-time while working full-time. I expect to finish in December 2028.

Building

This site, built in plain HTML, CSS and JavaScript with AI coding agents. Their runs are public in the Lab: real traces from November 7–12, 2026, checked by 13 automated evaluators, and a step-by-step replay of the redesign on November 10–11.

On the side: Work Helper, a tool in development to help people find job opportunities; VoiceLab, a local writing-analysis prototype; and Barking Village, a full-stack app for dog-care staff workflows.

Looking for

AI/ML engineer roles in the New York City area, hybrid or remote: building AI agents, LLM evaluation and MLOps. Email is the fastest way to reach me.
