By day I am currently a Release Manager in FinTech and really enjoy what I do. By nights and weekends, I am digging ever deeper into AI, especially around Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and agentic operations. I carry with me a large chunk of my career having been a software developer and development team lead, consulting, and for the last number of years focused on release operations management where I help software focused teams get things through the lifecycle and across the finish line. Being in software release operations management, I have an interest in process and improvements; pragmatically addressing these so that they exist where they need to and get out of the way where they don't. To a pipeline, I am both the glue and the grease; helping hold it all together while lubricating the gears. As is the case in sales, "always ask for the sale". Let me take this attention you have provided thus far and ask for the sale. If you need a leader for technical delivery, operations management, and/or are trying to get an AI solution out the door then ping me. I can increase your successes and mitigate those less successful efforts. InMail, email, connection requests, comments to posts, etc. are all welcome ways to reach out.
