AI Solutions Architect — Building Automated Infrastructure with Claude Code

Summary

I design and build automated infrastructure using AI coding tools — architecting real systems end-to-end with Claude Code rather than just prototyping. This sits on top of 25+ years of deep systems engineering: silicon/FPGA design, Fibre Channel and storage networking, and a decade driving SAN solutions engineering at QLogic, through to my current role as Solutions Architect at Solarflare. I'm looking for a role that puts this combination to work — using AI-assisted engineering to automate real infrastructure and technical delivery, backed by genuine systems depth.
