Lead Software Engineer · Frontend Architecture · Agentic AI
Cox Automotive · Xtime · Texas, USA

I'm a full-stack engineer with 18+ years of experience building large-scale enterprise and SaaS applications across automotive, banking, retail, and e-commerce domains. At Cox Automotive, I lead frontend architecture for Service Quoting and Repair Order workflows powering franchise dealers across North America, and Canada.

My current focus is agentic AI, Generative AI, and workflow automation — applying Claude Code, Claude Skills, spec-driven development, and RAG pipelines to real production challenges. I mentor engineers, author internal standards, and drive cross-squad AI initiatives that move the needle on measurable engineering productivity.
