Claude AI Architect | AI Strategy & Power BI | Ex-PwC CPA

I help companies get AI-ready and stay defensible: AI strategy and discovery roadmaps, data foundations, data and AI governance (including Microsoft Purview), Power BI reporting that ties to the financials, and Claude architecture built for production. I am a licensed CPA who architects enterprise AI systems and the governance that keeps them defensible. That pairing is rare. Most AI architects cannot reconcile a number to the financial statements, and most CPAs cannot design an agent fleet. I do both, which is why my dashboards tie out and my AI survives an audit. 🏅 4X CLAUDE CERTIFIED (ANTHROPIC) Claude Certified Architect - Professional ▪ Claude Certified Architect - Foundations ▪ Claude Certified Developer - Foundations ▪ Claude Certified Associate - Foundations. Plus Model Context Protocol, Building Subagents, Claude Code Advanced, Building with the Claude API, and the Claude Partner Badge for Claude Code. All verified on Credly; see the portfolio item "Claude Code Certified Architect & Developer". The four exams cover 38 objectives spanning agent architecture, Claude Code and the Claude API, MCP and tool integration, security and guardrails, evaluation and observability, and discovery and requirements. ⚡ WHAT I DO ▪ AI strategy, discovery and roadmaps: current-state assessment, use-case prioritization, data readiness, architecture options, and a phased roadmap with business cases a finance function will accept ▪ Data and AI governance: DAMA/DMBOK-aligned data governance programs, Microsoft Purview, data quality frameworks, metadata and data dictionaries, and stewardship SOPs, plus AI governance aligned to NIST AI RMF and ISO/IEC 42001, model risk, and AI governance registers ▪ Data foundations and Power BI: source hierarchy, entity resolution, star schema modeling, DAX, semantic layers, warehouse reviews, Snowflake, ETL, and reporting that reconciles to the system of record ▪ AI agent architecture and agentic workflow automation: Claude Code, Claude API, MCP servers, subagents and multi-agent orchestration, tool integration, hooks, evaluation harnesses, observability, and the guardrails that keep autonomous systems safe in production ▪ AI enablement: training engineering and business teams on Claude Code and AI-assisted workflows, with playbooks, CLAUDE.md conventions, prompt and context engineering patterns, and QA gates for AI-generated work. Trained 350 people on AI workflows for a midsize education company. ▪ Fractional CTO and technology transformation: assessment, roadmap, vendor accountability, and executive KPI reporting 💼 CURRENT ROLES CTO at DataOps (Aerospace & Defense, Healthcare). GenAI product ownership and agentic AI workflow automation for a $40B aerospace and defense supplier with 50,000+ employees, inside ITAR-compliant environments.
