Associate Director, Senior Forward Deployed Engineer | Vista Consulting Group | Remote

• Forward deployed engineering role with Vista Consulting Group, working hands-on with portfolio-company engineering teams on AI and agentic software delivery.

Consultant, Full Stack Developer

• Advanced an enterprise SaaS agentic delivery platform from a non-firing prototype to production rollout and team onboarding in under five weeks.
• Designed a ticket-to-merge agent fleet with event-driven state transitions, durable external state, idempotency, bounded retries, and two mandatory human approval gates.
• Traced Jira events through webhooks, trigger filters, and agent sessions to isolate stale event-source identifiers; restored repeated end-to-end completion, including approvals and terminal states.
• Consolidated two agent fleets and retired six obsolete bundles. Moved configuration to environment variables and run state to team-scoped storage; added drift checks against live deployments.
• Moved production automation to service-account credentials and separated read/write integration paths. Authored reusable onboarding guides and wiring references, then led product-team onboarding across multiple repositories.
• Translated an ambiguous statement of work into a measurable backlog and architecture roadmap; evaluated vendor costs and build-versus-buy tradeoffs for client decision-making.

• Built AI Hub, an Electron/React/TypeScript platform and CLI that govern and distribute reusable skills, SOPs, and project context across Codex, Claude Code, Copilot, Cursor, and Junie workflows.
• Designed portable Markdown/YAML content and tool adapters with layered personal, base, and project context; implemented validation, installation, synchronization, and import/export with provenance.
• Delivered 32 desktop releases with GitHub Actions workflows. Added sandboxing, IPC validation, path-traversal defenses, atomic imports, SHA-256 update verification, and rollback.
• Expanded validation to recorded milestones of 191 core tests, 30 desktop tests, and seven end-to-end journeys, covering security boundaries, sharing semantics, integrations, and failure recovery.

• Built a runnable AEM AI training repository with an 11-module Maven build and Java tests; paired exercises with focused demonstrations and captioned tutorials on planning, generation, critique, and validation.
• Created reusable playbooks for codebase discovery, spec-driven delivery, code review, human validation, Jira, and PR practices, giving teams consistent patterns for AI-assisted engineering.
• Delivered AEM AI Starter Kit dashboard features for auto-refresh and metadata-completeness scoring, supported by 16 automated tests and deployment verification.

• Delivered Java/Sling, JavaScript, React, and AEM implementations across healthcare, financial services, and public-sector engagements; led demos, discovery, UAT, knowledge transfer, and client training.
• Led development of a reusable Digital Front Door accelerator with provider/location search, filtering, sorting, and a data abstraction layer for future client engagements.
• Built authorable AEM components and responsive navigation; improved keyboard access, focus management, semantic markup, and screen-reader behavior. Mentored developers and reviewed peer pull requests.
• Promoted from Associate Consultant to Consultant within six months of joining Slalom.
