SMARTER
WITH AI
AI + EXPERIENCE

AI moves fast. Experience knows what works. I bring both — 15 years of cloud-native architecture and full-stack engineering, now amplified by agentic AI workflows that ship better software, faster.— Vincent Stoessel, CTO

NOT JUST
USING AI.
ORCHESTRATING
IT.

Most engineers are learning to prompt. I'm building the systems that put those prompts to work — agentic pipelines that plan, execute, verify, and ship with minimal human bottleneck.

That capability only compounds with experience. A decade and a half across fintech, security intelligence, and enterprise cloud means I've seen what breaks at scale, what compliance actually requires, and what "done" really looks like. I bring that context to every agent I spin up.

Senior Engineer → AI Orchestration Layer
01

Agent Orchestration

I design and run multi-agent workflows — coordinating Claude Code, Gemini, Copilot, and custom LLM pipelines to solve real engineering problems end to end, not just generate snippets.

02

Experienced Judgment

15 years of cloud-native architecture means I know which corners can't be cut. I bring that instinct to every AI-assisted build — catching what models miss, steering what they get wrong.

03

Full-Stack Context

From Kubernetes infrastructure to React UIs, I've owned the whole stack. That breadth makes orchestration sharper — I can direct agents across layers because I've lived in all of them.

What I Do

AREAS OF
EXPERTISE

01

Cloud-Native Architecture

Azure, AWS, Kubernetes, ArgoCD. I design and deploy scalable microservices infrastructure for banking, security, and enterprise platforms.

02

Platform & Security Engineering

From Microsoft Defender for Threat Intelligence to SIEM integrations in Azure Sovereign Cloud — I build systems that meet the highest compliance bars.

03

Full-Stack Development

Java & Spring Boot on the backend, React on the frontend. End-to-end ownership of features, APIs, and the Microsoft Graph ecosystem.

04

DevOps & Observability

CI/CD pipelines, ARM templates, Datadog dashboards, and Grafana monitoring. I make sure systems stay up — and when they don't, I own the PIR.

AI-Augmented Development

I orchestrate agentic development workflows using the frontier of AI tooling — coordinating models and coding agents to ship faster without sacrificing quality.
