## Executive Summary

Architect-level engineer who designs complete systems, then accelerates implementation through AI-augmented development -- leveraging 30+ years of full-stack expertise to design systems that AI alone cannot conceive: domain-specific languages, graph engines, real-time collaboration protocols, and containerized microservices on GCP.

Provides detailed architectural direction to AI coding tools, then rigorously validates output through unit, integration, and real-world testing -- consistently identifying root causes that AI misses. Has developed optimized workflows for AI code indexing, context management, and deployment automation that dramatically compress development timelines.

Pioneering a new engineering discipline where deep architectural expertise meets AI-powered implementation -- delivering systems of a scale and sophistication that neither human nor AI achieves alone.

## Availability

Available for part-time, contract, and consulting engagements. Remote work preferred.

## Professional Experience

### Topology.Cloud / HomeRunbook.com
**Senior Developer / AI-Augmented Development Lead** | Nov 2025 - Present

Lead developer on a comprehensive Building Infrastructure Management Platform -- designing all system architecture and directing AI-augmented implementation across a digital twin system for electrical, plumbing, HVAC, networking, A/V, security, and fire protection systems using directed acyclic graph architecture.

- Designed complete system architecture -- Go backend (Graph/Formula/Validation engines), React + WebAssembly frontends, MongoDB/PostgreSQL/Redis data layer -- then directed AI-assisted implementation with detailed specifications and rigorous code review
- Designed Topology Formula Language (TFL) -- a custom DSL with lexer, parser, and AST for building code compliance validation (NEC, IBC, IPC) -- the kind of complex language design that requires human architectural vision, not just code generation
- Developing real-time collaboration system using binary WebSocket protocol; validates all AI-generated code through unit, integration, and real-world testing -- routinely catching concurrency and state management bugs before AI tooling identifies them
- Leveraged AI-augmented development to build Component Modeling Language (CML) with 9,500+ XML-based component definitions across 7 building trades -- a scope achievable only through optimized human-AI collaboration
- Developed optimized AI development workflows -- context indexing strategies, incremental code search, and deployment automation on GCP (Cloud Run, Terraform IaC, Cloud CDN) -- preventing AI tendency to rewrite from scratch and ensuring consistent, repeatable CI/CD pipelines

Technologies: Go, React, WebAssembly, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, Redis, GCP, Terraform
