Principal Architect — 21 years in enterprise technology, specializing in Context Engineering and legacy estate modernization for BFSI.

Working with Tier-1 European banks and G-SIBs across:

• Regulatory Reporting — Basel III/IV, BCBS 239, FRTB, CRR3, COREP modernization
• SAS Exit Programmes — migrating SAS analytics estates (including AML workloads) to Databricks via LeapLogic; GraphFrames for entity resolution and network analysis
• Data Lineage & Contracts — machine-readable lineage replacing free-text transformation rules; BCBS 239 Principle 2 compliance patterns

Context Engineering Designing context supply chains for enterprise AI — semantic models, data contracts, knowledge graphs, and retrieval pipelines that give agents accurate, governed, auditable answers.

Legacy Estate Modernization Migrating mainframe, SAS, and legacy EDW and ETL estates to Databricks and Snowflake. Architecture, scoping, and automated discovery across a broad range of on-premise platforms.

I work at the boundary between technical architecture and commercial decision-making — helping enterprise buyers move from problem recognition to funded programme.

• Semantics ready agentic world by unlocking the business meaning from the code, tribal knowledge, and free-text fields. Semantic modelling — ontologies, semantic layers, and machine-readable contracts — is what turns a migrated workload into an asset an agent can actually trust and reason over.
• Model Context Protocol (MCP) as an emerging enterprise standard for connecting agents to governed data sources at scale
• GraphRAG — knowledge graph-augmented retrieval for regulatory and compliance domains where relationship traversal matters as much as similarity search
• Context evaluation frameworks — measuring context quality, coverage gaps, and hallucination risk before agents reach production
• Agentic memory architectures — designing episodic and semantic memory layers that let enterprise agents learn from feedback without retraining
