Resume

I am a senior software and data platform engineer with 10+ years of experience designing and delivering cloud-native APIs, data pipelines, and analytics systems across B2B SaaS, fintech, and insurance.

Most recently, I built Franchise Signal , a document-centric AI platform. It ingests and structures thousands of Franchise Disclosure Documents (~300 page legal PDFs) to power retrieval-augmented (RAG) research and comparative due diligence for prospective franchisees and operators.

The Franchise Signal platform also exposes its data through an MCP server, so that structured year-over-year FDD data can be queried directly by investors, attorneys, and franchisees directly in their AI platform of choice or in agentic workflows. We have processed thousands of queries on the platform and support hundreds of users in their franchise research and diligence.

For a demo, please reach out (andy@franchisesignal.com) or visit Franchise Signal

For technical background of ingestion, extraction, structuring, and scoring at scale (Azure, LLMs, Eval Sets, and more) and in production for thousands of 300+ page legal documents please see articles on this site.

I have led and contributed to platform and integration work at companies like Adobe and Truist Insurance Holdings (TIH), building production enterprise systems. I have also led small engineering teams and owned end-to-end technical delivery for revenue-impacting initiatives.

In 2024-2025, I launched and operated a franchise home services business. I grew the business from $0 to > $100k revenue, managed all sales, hiring, and operations, and led 2-3 field employees before ultimately selling and exiting the business.

I am currently focused on solutions engineering, AI and data platform architecture, or technical consulting roles, where technical depth and business context go hand in hand and would welcome an opportunity to connect.
