Precision & Innovation.

My journey bridges rigorous engineering with visionary entrepreneurship. From scaling Tesla's production lines 10x to building AI systems saving Coca-Cola $2.5M+ annually, I architect solutions that aren't just functional — they're commercially dominant. As founder of ParkHere.ai, I apply the same precision to building AI-powered SaaS products from the ground up.

Key Achievements

  • check_circle MCP Server Development – Built custom Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers exposing internal Snowflake, SAP HANA, and SharePoint resources to LLM agents, enabling Director/VP-level stakeholders to query enterprise data conversationally with structured, audited tool calls.
  • check_circle Agent Skill Libraries – Authored reusable agent skills for repeatable business workflows (financial reconciliation, invoice triage, KPI summarization, document processing), reducing time-to-deploy for new agentic use cases by 70%+ across departments.
  • check_circle Tool Use & Orchestration – Designed structured tool schemas, prompt-caching strategies, and multi-step agent loops on top of the Anthropic SDK to cut token spend and latency on production agent calls while improving reliability.
  • check_circle Azure Bot Framework & Microsoft 365 – Built and deployed enterprise AI bots using Teams Bot SDK, Azure App Registrations, and Bot Framework connectors, bridging Microsoft Copilot AI with Snowflake APIs to deliver conversational analytics across multiple departments.
  • check_circle AI-Powered Document Processing – Architected intelligent PDF scraping systems with redundancy leveraging Snowflake Cortex, achieving 99.9% uptime and processing thousands of documents daily.
  • check_circle Agentic AI Applications – Built production-ready AI agents, bots, and assistants using LLM frameworks to automate business functions, reducing manual intervention by 80%+ across multiple departments.
  • check_circle $1.5M+ prevented (growing $500K annually) – Partnered with Director/VP stakeholders across Finance and Operations, researching SAP T-codes and mapping SAP HANA data structures to develop AI-enhanced duplicate payment detection using Python, Snowflake, and ML algorithms, replacing a third-party service charging 30% commission.
  • check_circle 10x vendor processing capacity – Engineered AI-driven financial reconciliation system that automated vendor data matching and validation, enabling workers to process 1,000 vendors instead of 100 – a 10x productivity improvement through intelligent automation.
  • check_circle Hybrid Cloud Architecture – Architected hybrid data pipelines migrating on-premises SAP HANA data through Azure Blob Storage to Snowflake, enabling cloud-based analytics and AI-driven decision-making across enterprise operations.
  • check_circle Modernized legacy systems at the SPC facility, introducing SCADA for the first time and reducing downtime by 50% through targeted PLC upgrades.
  • check_circle Established 24/7 remote support company-wide by deploying VPN-secured servers, enabling continuous monitoring and faster incident response.
