Professional Experience

Google Cloud Solutions Engineer · GenAI · Promevo

Sep 2025 – Present

Design and deliver enterprise GenAI and agentic solutions on Google Cloud for Fortune 500 clients, from AI strategy and value discovery through architecture and production deployment.

  • Built Promevo's No-Code Agent Library, an AI value-discovery platform generating 100+ role-specific agent use cases across 10 business functions with ROI modeling, surfacing an average of $3M in agentic opportunities per engagement.
  • Helped position Promevo as a strategic Google Cloud GenAI partner via the Agent Library and a repeatable Gemini Enterprise methodology, contributing to Google entrusting Promevo with $1M–$2M enterprise opportunities.
  • Architected a reusable suite of "last-mile" agents (Python, Google ADK, Agent2Agent) that autonomously produce presentations, images, video, and documents grounded in centrally managed brand guidelines and templates.
  • Exposed those agents over A2A as composable enterprise infrastructure: customer agents delegate artifact creation while a central control plane governs brand standards and approved assets.
  • Built a multi-MCP marketing and commerce agent for a global digital experience platform that unites audience intelligence, product insights, generative video, Meta ads, and Shopify campaigns in one workflow, winning C-suite sponsorship for production and marketplace distribution.
  • Led an agentic AI hackathon for a major U.S. manufacturer, turning supply-chain challenges across ~12 teams into an orchestrated agent that surfaces forecasting insights conversationally and enables earlier intervention against disruptions, multimillion-dollar expedited-shipping exposure, and plant-shutdown risk.
  • Productized Gemini Enterprise delivery (workshops, use-case discovery, ROI analysis, change management) so engagements repeat across Promevo's Professional Services organization.

Experimentation Specialist · Alaska Airlines

Oct 2023 – Sep 2024

Brought LLM automation and large-scale data engineering to the experimentation program of a major U.S. airline.

  • Led development of LLM-powered agentic workflows that automated experiment analysis end to end, with human-in-the-loop validation so analysts reviewed conclusions instead of rebuilding them, an early production application of GenAI inside the experimentation program.
  • Engineered Python/PySpark pipelines on Databricks that evaluated experimentation techniques at scale, giving product teams a defensible, data-driven basis for ship-or-hold decisions.
  • Deployed a Spark-based QA pipeline that inspects 100,000+ transactions a day for anomalies and system-health signals, giving the program a continuous check on the integrity of the data behind every readout.
  • Built experiment tagging and tracking systems that turned a growing portfolio of tests into actionable insight on customer behavior and revenue impact.
  • Designed and ran the experiments behind the airline's eco-friendly initiatives, lifting user engagement and conversion on those flows.

  • Implemented infrastructure as code with Terraform and GitHub Actions CI/CD pipelines, making environments reproducible and every deployment an automated, reviewable change.
  • Wrote Java integration test suites that guarded pipeline integrity as the data platform scaled.
  • Led website localization with React and Node.js, increasing global user engagement across the client's international audience.
