AI Architect at Synechron

Enterprise AI.Architecture that ships.

I design and build production AI platforms where Java, Spring, enterprise data, and human judgment must work as one reliable system.

What I am hired to do

Turn AI ambition into an operable platform.

Architecture ownership stays close to implementation, validation, deployment, and production accountability.

01

AI platform architecture

Grounded agent workflows, RAG, evaluation, structured outputs, and human controls designed as production platform capabilities.

02

Java and Spring systems

Hands-on ownership of service boundaries, APIs, persistence, integration contracts, security, testing, and operational behavior.

03

Enterprise modernization

Pragmatic migration of financial, healthcare, payments, logistics, IoT, and telecom workflows without destabilizing operations.

Selected evidence

Production work, not AI theater.

Three examples of architecture translated into systems, controls, and delivery.

Synechron / Everi-IGT

AI Architect / Lead Engineer

Platforms AI

Challenge

Unify fragmented financial reporting, banking, accounting, deployment, and automation workflows into a maintainable AI-enabled platform.

My contribution

Own architecture and hands-on delivery across Java, Spring Boot, Spring AI, Python-supported validation, bank integrations, agent workflows, and Ansible deployment automation.

Result

Established explicit service boundaries, grounded multi-agent engineering practices, traceable workflows, repeatable delivery, and production controls for business-critical automation.

Cognizant / Elevance Health

AI Lead Engineer

Medicare plan digitalization

Challenge

Apply AI to regulated healthcare workflows while preserving business-rule accuracy, traceability, and release discipline.

My contribution

Designed source-grounded AI patterns across Java/Spring services, Python-supported workflows, healthcare plan information, and mobile integration points.

Result

Introduced reviewable AI guardrails, repeatable validation, controlled integration patterns, and modular service modernization for Medicare digital experiences.

Deloitte / Walmart

Senior Software Engineer

Real-time delivery optimization

Challenge

Operationalize AI-assisted delivery decisions across high-throughput store and mobile workflows.

My contribution

Designed Allocation, Prioritization, Re-Prioritization, and Tardiness microservices with Kafka-backed AI preprocessing, scoring, and result delivery.

Result

Integrated AI outputs into operational applications through reliable, traceable Java/Spring services and production-ready data pipelines.

Operating model

Ground. Architect. Build. Evaluate. Operate.

AI delivery is a controlled software lifecycle. Source evidence and human decisions frame the system; tests, evals, observability, and production feedback keep it accountable.

  5. 05OperateSignals + feedback

Experience

AI architecture built on engineering depth.

Current AI leadership supported by two decades of enterprise Java, integration, cloud, data, and production delivery.
