I build the platforms enterprises use to put AI agents into production: runtime, memory, tools and governance.

About

Bio

I lead product for the Agent Builder Platform in the CTO organization at J.P. Morgan Chase. My teams build the runtime, memory, tool integration and policy controls that developers across the firm use to build and run agents on shared identity, governance and observability.

I came to product as an engineer. I started out building energy systems at TechnipFMC in Houston, where I owned connected maintenance software and predictive failure models for offshore equipment. My MBA at NYU Stern and my years at Boston Consulting Group added the business lens: strategy, pricing and go-to-market.

I think in systems. An agent is only as good as the runtime, data, permissions and people around it. I bring that whole picture to AI-driven workflows, in plain language that engineers, executives and risk teams can all work from.

  • Agent platforms & managed runtimes
  • Agent memory, RAG & enterprise knowledge
  • MCP & tool standards
  • AI governance & entitlements
  • Developer experience
  • Capital markets & payments

The agent stack I run

J.P. Morgan · 2021 to now

AI Registry

find & reuse

Firmwide directory of agents, tools and knowledge bases, with access tied to entitlements and responsible-AI policy. Playgrounds for building and evaluating agents.

Developer Experience

build & operate

Managed Agents with durable execution, memory, human-in-the-loop checkpoints and guardrails. Agent Builder CLI and an AI studio for tracing, debugging and evals.

Platform

run

Agent runtime and infrastructure, the Agent Builder SDK (skills, sandboxing, MCP-connected tools) and the Agent Context Engine, which joins memory, RAG, NL2SQL and knowledge bases into one context layer.

I reorganized the stack into these three product lines so the roadmap matches how developers actually consume it.
