Who's behind this

Eleven years shipping software. The last few, shipping AI.

I'm a Cloud/AI Engineer at Perficient, where I deliver AI and cloud systems for enterprise clients, and an SME and educator in Perficient's AI Academy, where I run cohorts that turn engineers into people who can ship AI safely.

I hold every active AWS certification and the AWS Golden Jacket, the community credential you earn by passing them all. I'm also a Claude Certified Architect. But the jacket earns attention; only the work earns authority. Certs tell you I did the reading. The systems I ship tell you I can build.

My angle is the part most AI content skips: what actually holds up in production. Cost per run, prompt-injection surface, traces you can read at 2 a.m., a human in the loop where it matters. That judgment is the difference between a demo and something a team can run on Monday.

I work and teach in English and Spanish, mostly for engineers across LATAM who don't need another hype thread. They need to see the real thing built, with the trade-offs left in.
