Architectural contribution · enterprise AI2023 — present

Agentic AI inside the enterprise security boundary

A worked set of design patterns for letting AI agents take on the heavy operational work of enterprise IT — applications, operating systems, cloud, identity — without compromising the boundaries regulated companies live within. Three ideas anchor it: cost-tiered inference routing so foundation-model spend matches decision complexity; agentic tool composition across the full stack; and human-approval gates as a first-class design primitive, not an afterthought. These patterns run in production at a Fortune 10 manufacturer and are documented in my patent filings and publications.

Specialist practiceToyota

Zero Downtime Option upgrades

I personally execute S/4HANA, GRC, and Fiori upgrades with SAP's ZDO — a capability most enterprises hire consultancies for. My practitioner's guide reached 10,700+ engineers, two-thirds senior level, across the global integrator community.

Client: ExxonMobil2018 — 2020

Tier-1 → Tier-3 support transformation

Designed end-to-end how one of the world's largest energy companies supports SAP — escalation pathways, ownership boundaries, runbooks, and the depth to resolve platform issues internally.

Client: Cardinal Health2018

Cloud migration with full DR compliance

Led a Fortune 500 healthcare distributor's SAP estate to Google Cloud — the disaster-recovery architecture passed full RTO/RPO compliance testing.

Zero Trust & DevSecOps for regulated SAP

Architecture for large transformations in regulated industries; my standard operating procedures were adopted as best practice across engagement teams.
