Throughout my career I have been relied upon to architect and create scalable, manageable and performant systems.

Meticulous, analytical and highly adaptable, I am able to quickly develop expertise in new fields and technologies. I take a holistic approach to my work in order to ensure that a solution is developed using the best available technology for that problem.

Following is a sample of my work over the last few years.

Transform, Discover, Explore, Describe: Extract the information and value from your data.

With Describo, you can describe your data; discover the narratives contained within it, and create rich descriptions from it. As you work, Describo creates a linked data index containing all of your efforts.

Describo is built on AWS and provides tools for data description, transcription, entity recognition / markup and discovery using GenerativeAI from Anthropic.

I am the project lead and core developer.
