Portfolio
Reference architectures, technical tools, and published work across cloud data platforms, enterprise migrations, and AI infrastructure. Each project explains the problem, my contribution, and the decisions behind the solution.
Featured Projects
Databricks–Redis Real-Time Personalization
Co-authored a real-time personalization guide connecting Databricks stream processing with Redis serving. The reference demo sustained 100,000 events per second at 157 ms p99 end-to-end latency.
Write-Through Caching with Azure Managed Redis and Azure SQL
Authored Microsoft Learn architecture guidance for low-latency reads with SQL as the source of truth, including partial failures, cache repair, and operational tradeoffs.
Azure Redis Migration Accelerator
Built a toolkit to discover Redis resources across Azure subscriptions and collect inventory and usage metrics for sizing and migration planning.
More professional and personal projects
Event-Driven Cache Updates with Azure Managed Redis and Azure Cosmos DB
Authored a Microsoft Learn reference architecture for keeping Azure Managed Redis caches current as Azure Cosmos DB data changes, covering data freshness, performance, and operational tradeoffs.
Azure Managed Redis - Well-Architected Service Guide
Authored the Azure Managed Redis Well-Architected service guide, with recommendations for reliability, security, cost optimization, operational excellence, and performance efficiency.
Microsoft Build 2026: Lightning Talk & Product Booth
Presented a Microsoft Build 2026 lightning talk on Azure Managed Redis for Foundry agents and served as a Redis Expert on Azure Redis booth duty.
Azure Managed Redis & Azure Databricks: Real-time Feature Serving (Blog Post)
Co-authored a blog post showing how Azure Managed Redis and Azure Databricks can work together to support real-time feature serving for latency-sensitive AI and machine learning applications.
Microsoft Ignite 2025: Semantic Caching Breakout & Product Booth & DP-900
Presented a Microsoft Ignite 2025 breakout session demonstrating a semantic caching demo I built, supported attendees as a Microsoft product expert on booth duty, and passed the DP-900 certification onsite.
Fractal Tech (NYC): Context-Enabled Semantic Caching
Presented at Fractal Tech in NYC on a Redis-built pattern: context-enabled semantic caching, semantic cache hits adapted with user context for faster, cheaper, more personalized LLM outputs.
Redis Agent Skills (AI Coding Agent Skill Pack)
Contributed to Redis’ official “agent skills” collection: packaged guidance and resources that help AI coding agents make better Redis decisions (data structures, vector search, caching, performance).
Azure Managed Redis & Azure Cosmos DB with Cache-Aside (Blog Post)
Co-authored a practical guide showing how cache-aside with Azure Managed Redis reduces Cosmos DB RU costs and improves read latency, without rewriting the application.
Semantic Caching Demo + Cost & Sizing Calculator (Azure Managed Redis)
Featured at Microsoft Ignite 2025. Created an end-to-end semantic caching demo with real-time streaming plus an interactive cost & sizing calculator to quantify Redis ROI vs. raw LLM spend.
Context-Enabled Semantic Caching (Python Notebook)
Built a hands-on Python notebook that demonstrates CESC: semantic cache matching with Redis vector search, then personalization using user context to transform generic cached responses into user-relevant answers.
Building a Context-Enabled Semantic Cache with Redis (Blog Post)
Wrote and published a deep-dive on “Context-Enabled Semantic Caching” (CESC): combining semantic cache hits with lightweight personalization and optional RAG context to cut latency/cost while improving relevance for enterprise AI apps.
Modernizing Epsilon Zeta: A Digital Transformation
Spearheaded the technological modernization of my alma mater's Sigma Nu chapter, implementing a new digital infrastructure to support operations and a successful $40,000 fundraising campaign.
Customer Churn Prediction
A comprehensive, interactive machine learning application designed to predict customer churn for a telecommunications company, guiding users through each step of the ML workflow.
My Personal Website
This project details the creation of my personal website – a next-generation digital presence built using Next.js & React, hosted on AWS.
