Building and governing AI systems at enterprise scale.

VP, Cloud & Platform Architecture at Deutsche Bank. I design the operating models, governance architectures, and platform systems that make AI deliver in regulated financial services. My work spans two layers: the management systems firms need to scale AI, and the protocol infrastructure that makes advanced agentic AI reliable.
