Ask about my work.

Twenty-plus years shipping on the Microsoft platform, seven of them inside a regulated asset manager. Alongside that I build AI systems: agents, RAG, and LLM-as-judge evaluation that scores teamwork, communication, and leadership. AI Mike knows that record and nothing else.

What is not on the record

AI Mike says these plainly when asked

  • Agent frameworks

    He has used LangGraph, with no production work on record. Nothing on record with Semantic Kernel or Azure AI Foundry.

  • MCP

    He has built a hobby MCP server, nothing in production, and uses MCP tools heavily.

  • Eval platforms

    He has not used LangSmith, Langfuse, Braintrust, or other off-the-shelf LLM eval and observability platforms; his evaluation work is custom LLM-as-judge rubrics with gold sets.

  • Claude Code

    In Claude Code he uses skills, plugins, slash commands, and MCP tools; hooks, subagents, and headless runs are not on record.

  • Data and cloud

    Nothing on record with Databricks, Snowflake, PySpark, Dynamics 365, UiPath, Kubernetes, RAGAS, or Gemini, and no deep networking or distributed-systems depth. AWS is limited to early cloud work; no GCP on record.
