Senior Solutions Architect — Digital Platforms & AI Systems
I help insurers ship Guidewire transformations end-to-end: ClaimCenter/PolicyCenter delivery, integration architecture, and modern digital experiences with Jutro. I also write and build side projects in ML and production-grade AI agents.
About Me
I’m a senior solutions architect and consultant focused on insurance platforms and digital delivery. My day-to-day work spans core-system transformations, integration architecture, cloud delivery patterns, and governance that keeps large programs shippable.
Alongside consulting, I run long-form technical writing and side research in ML and agentic systems—especially how to make agents operable in production (evals, tool safety, observability, and compliance-by-design).

The Connector Ecosystem: MCP adoption patterns, versioning, and governance
Once agents can call tools, connectors become the new platform surface. This month is a playbook for adopting MCP at scale: patterns that work, versioning that doesn’t break customers, and governance that keeps the ecosystem sane.
Axel brought clarity to a complex platform and integration landscape. He translated ambiguity into an execution plan with clear contracts, ownership boundaries, and delivery guardrails. The team shipped with fewer surprises and a calmer release cadence.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about my process and services.
Senior solutions architecture roles where delivery success depends on clean system boundaries, integration strategy, and execution guardrails. Most of my recent work is insurance platform delivery (Guidewire core + digital + integrations), but the underlying skill is platform architecture in complex environments.
Guidewire is a strong part of my recent track record, but my core value is solutions architecture and delivery leadership across distributed systems, integrations, and modern digital stacks. I’m open to adjacent domains where those problems look the same.
Both. I’m comfortable at the whiteboard and in delivery trenches: defining architecture, aligning stakeholders, reviewing implementation, improving pipelines/ops, and unblocking teams with pragmatic decisions.
