About


My View

I used to believe Edison had it right — “Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration.” Ideas are cheap, execution is king.

With AI commoditizing execution, I see it differently:

The real advantage is knowing what’s worth building.

That’s where I focus now — using architecture and AI to aim teams at the right problems and drive predictable outcomes, not just an accumulation of fast outputs.

I’m a technology strategist and hands-on solution architect with over 13 years across the full delivery lifecycle — delivering solutions, products, and infrastructure for the public sector and regulated industries.

I set standards where none exist. I wrote a tailored delivery methodology for scaled Agile teams and built the tooling that backs it — encoding engineering standards as natural-language rules that are enforced automatically in CI/CD, published to npm and the Visual Studio Marketplace.

I stay hands-on across AI-enabled delivery: an Azure-based Agentic RAG solution on Azure OpenAI and Azure AI Search, an LLM-augmented knowledge base, and an open-source-powered Agentic Development Stack. I work across Anthropic Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, and Google Antigravity, and pair TOGAF® and SAFe® governance discipline with MBA-grounded business and project management.

Innovation is at the heart of my career, and I strive to bring modernization, scalability, and reliability to software and infrastructure solutions. As a tech enthusiast, AI practitioner, and veteran tech Maker, I am dedicated to developing myself as a Multiplier — leveraging technical leadership and AI to drive elevated capacity and outcomes with team.

Strategy & Standards

  • Developed a tailored delivery methodology supporting regulatory delivery teams — written from consulting experience and adopted through advocacy
  • Established the architectural control points — reference-architecture conformance, quality attributes (-ilities), and a weekly architecture sync

Hands-On AI & Agent Tooling

  • Published @ttgca/custom-ai-code-analyzer to npm — a GPT / Azure OpenAI static analyzer that enforces custom standards written as natural-language rules — and the companion VS Code Custom AI SE Assistant to the Visual Studio Marketplace
  • Built an LLM-augmented knowledge base and interactive knowledge graph on an agent-updatable content-as-data architecture with written agent operating instructions — a citizen-scale build
  • Built an Agentic Development Stack (Amazon Bedrock + DeepSeek Harness), a configurable chassis and composable runtime

Enablement & Adoption

  • Led DevOps transformation for a 20-member sysadmin group at TELUS and drove toolchain adoption across 80+ system engineers nationwide — designing the enablement path and rules of engagement
  • Ran learning sessions and technical workshops that moved infrastructure teams from awareness to working practice

Regulated & Public-Sector Delivery

  • Lead Solution Architect for OneStop 2.0, the Alberta Energy Regulator’s flagship cloud-native regulatory platform; delivered Water Act processes off legacy systems, enabling co-regulation with the Government of Alberta
  • Delivered Petrinex’s Public Data Initiative and Internal Operations platform — pan-Canadian service expansion and 24/7 remote operations
  • Experienced in operating within public-sector governance, privacy, compliance, and operational accountability environments
