Azure.NETAI/MLCloud-Native

I build production-grade AI systems using Azure, .NET, and modern cloud-native patterns. My focus is on applied AI — not demos, not prototypes. Systems that run in real environments with real constraints.

13+ years shipping production software. Currently deep in Azure — Functions, Cosmos DB, Service Bus — and building AI-integrated systems for real operational workflows.

2

I ship to real users

Production-tested systems that handle real traffic, real edge cases, real constraints.

3

I document production lessons

My writing at aiwisdom.dev captures hard-won insights from the trenches.
