Zero to Production
- Production multi-tenant SaaS platform on Cloudflare Workers, Pages, R2, Stream, D1, KV, Durable Objects + Neon Postgres via Hyperdrive — 27 deployed apps, 37 shared packages, 15-repo org.
- Autonomous supervision loop — 130 workflows: kanban dispatch, conformance gates, health scorecards, and self-healing infra (dead-man's-switch, flaky-check reporting) sustaining team-level velocity solo.
- Full AI pipeline: LLM script → ElevenLabs narration → Remotion → ffmpeg → Cloudflare Stream, plus Anthropic → Grok → Groq failover via AI Gateway with cost metering.
- Security from first principles: self-managed JWT via Web Crypto, GCP Secret Manager + Workload Identity Federation, zero hardcoded CI secrets.
- Production bugs caught: 100× LLM cost under-billing (cents vs. dollars), AI Gateway ghost-401, SSE chunk-boundary output truncation.
- Live products: selfprime.net, Capricast, AI daily-brief, operator admin surface with GitHub App runtime auth.
- Own Cisco UC platform (CUCM, Unity, CER, UCCX) across a Fortune 500 infrastructure — upgrades, validation, readiness, rollback.
- 700+ branch voice migration across successive waves (23 → 105 → 175 → 418 locations).
- Platform consolidation: 8 legacy systems eliminated, 4 infra dependencies removed.
- Authored 4 enterprise runbooks converting one-off engineering into repeatable, scalable process.
- Incident authority: Branch 9684 post-mortem — isolated root cause, restored service in ~29 minutes, impact contained to one branch.
- Mentoring two engineers toward Claude Certified Architect on production infra. "Strong Performance" rating 2025.
- Cut enterprise RTO by 60%; led DR testing with VMware SRM, Archer, F5 BIG-IP LTM.
- Owned testing infra for 20+ UC/UCCE environments; led VMware migration; built automated audit tooling.
- Migrated a 310-square-mile federal facility from legacy 5ESS to Cisco VoIP; designed enterprise E911 / CER.
- Enterprise VoIP design, contact-center buildouts (1,000+ users), network/server administration, redundancy planning.
