AI ENGINEERING PROFILE
+ years of software engineering and architecture experience, with a current focus on building an AI-first software development approach. Designing agent orchestration workflows that move software from idea and specifications through testing strategy, implementation, validation, deployment and monitoring—while enabling each engineer to run a fleet of agents concurrently.
PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
Senior Cloud Engineer — Quest Software, Halifax, NS
- Building AI-agent orchestration workflows for autonomous, AI-first software development across the full lifecycle: idea discovery, specifications, architecture/planning, testing strategy, implementation, validation, deployment and monitoring.
- Designing a fleet-of-agents model that lets each engineer run multiple specialized agents concurrently, enabling parallel progress on multiple features, defects, tests and engineering initiatives.
- Orchestrating specialized agents for requirements analysis, technical design, implementation, test generation, validation, code review, remediation, deployment and operational monitoring.
- Creating iterative execution → validation → remediation loops so agent-produced work can be tested, reviewed and refined before moving to the next delivery stage.
- Applying the workflow to reduce engineering cost and cycle time, increase development throughput and quality, and unlock capacity for additional growth opportunities without scaling engineering effort linearly.
- Using dedicated agent workstreams to identify, prioritize and tackle technical debt in parallel, reducing the need to pull engineers away from highly requested customer features and protecting valuable development capacity.
- Applying cloud-native orchestration patterns using C#/.NET, Python, microservices, distributed asynchronous processing, Kubernetes, Dapr, Docker, Azure, CI/CD and Infrastructure as Code.
- Working on the OnDemand Recovery SaaS Platform, resolving infrastructure vulnerabilities and deployment issues while improving performance, reliability and operational workflows.
