Hi, I'm Jer
Complex data, elegant systems, and a good trail.
I'm a cloud and AI architect who turns tangled requirements and large datasets into systems people actually enjoy using. Off the clock, you'll find me on two wheels or in a tent.
What I do
I like problems that don't have a single right answer, just an optimal one.
Architecture and modernization
Decomposing monoliths with domain driven design and vertical slices, moving legacy workloads to AWS in phases that reduce risk and cost.
GenAI and agentic workflows
RAG pipelines, structured output via tool calls, and AI as a first-class actor in event-driven workflows on Bedrock and Step Functions.
Data at scale
Surfacing big, messy datasets through elegant APIs for developers and discovery tools for ops teams and end users.
Mentoring and leadership
Coaching teams through computer science fundamentals, and building the executive alignment that gets good designs funded.
