Work

Four case studies. Each demonstrates a different facet of enterprise systems thinking — AI governance, compliance architecture, sales intelligence design, and hyperscaler GTM.

AI Governance · Systems Design
When the AI Fabricated Structured Data, I Built the Architecture That Prevents It

An AI model generated plausible but false structured output that nearly entered a production knowledge graph. The response wasn't a policy — it was an architecture. Every AI extraction lands in a staging layer. Nothing reaches production state without human authorization.

47 governed sessions on a live production system — zero subsequent fabrication events
144+ architectural decisions locked, each with rationale and rejected alternatives documented

Governance First. Then the Campaign. Then the Pipeline.

Before a single message reached the field, I resolved the foundational legal question that determines everything downstream: lapse situation or never-compliant situation? Those aren't points on a spectrum — they're categorically different legal postures with different False Claims Act exposure.

$5M combined pipeline value across two compliance campaigns
6 campaign assets delivered before first seller contact — governance before execution

106 Issues Registered Before a Line of Code Was Written

A prior version of this platform failed from accumulated small issues that went undetected until they compounded. The v6 response: a 106-issue register spanning 11 categories. All 8 blockers cleared before sprint one. This is systems design and risk mitigation with a clear understanding of threat vectors.

$100M in AWS-Influenced Revenue. Same Ecosystem. Three Organizations.

The AWS relationship didn't start at Coalfire. It started at Anitian — building the FedRAMP and GovCloud motion with the same AWS field teams and partner ecosystem that later made me a recruitment target. Same players. Same motion. Compounding across a decade.
