Pioneered cutting-edge AI-assisted development methodologies, creating autonomous agent systems that revolutionize software development workflows and technical documentation processes.

• Architected and developed dotagents, an innovative multi-agent system using Claude API for autonomous code generation, documentation, and project management, demonstrating advanced AI integration capabilities.
• Established comprehensive personal branding platform (iamrichardd.github.io) showcasing technical expertise and thought leadership in AI-assisted development practices.
• Created automated documentation generation system (dotagents docs) that transforms raw project data into professionally structured technical documentation, reducing documentation overhead by 80%.
• Implemented AI-driven content strategy workflows that autonomously generate marketing materials, technical articles, and project documentation from simulation histories and project artifacts.
• Developed sophisticated prompt engineering techniques and multi-agent orchestration patterns, advancing the state of AI-human collaboration in software development.
• Demonstrated thought leadership in emerging AI technologies by successfully bridging the gap between traditional software development practices and next-generation AI-assisted workflows.

• Led development for 30+ applications, services, and libraries across diverse teams in international and US locations, leveraging Agile methodologies and Scrum practices for predictable delivery.
• Managed and mentored project teams of up to 14 developers, fostering cross-functional collaboration and guiding prioritization of features and remediations, resulting in improved code quality and enhanced user experience.
• Facilitated monthly cross-domain meetings with Product Owners, ensuring transparency, aligning development efforts with organizational goals, and effectively managing change to deliver solutions.
• Designed and contributed code for highly scalable backend microservices leveraging AWS products/services (EC2, SQS, RDS Aurora PostgreSQL, Lambda, ECS, Fargate) and Terraform for infrastructure-as-code, optimizing API development and integration.
• Implemented DevSecOps practices in development, testing, auditing, and release pipelines utilizing Docker and Jenkins for enhanced predictability, efficiency, and security.

• Initiated and led process improvements, including migrating multiple applications and workloads to AWS, which reduced release times, improved security, and enhanced code confidence through automation.
• Fostered critical collaboration by initiating and leading bi-monthly meetings with Network Engineers, driving joint development efforts, and significantly reducing their day-to-day operational toil.
• Introduced and championed software development best practices such as code reviews, CI/CD pipelines, and JIRA for issue tracking, streamlining development processes, and improving team efficiency.
• Contributed to core applications and services, developing solutions for backend systems integration and leveraging Node.js, dotnet core, and PostgreSQL.

• Designed and developed a custom SaaS application for financial broker-dealers, ensuring compliance with regulatory guidelines and streamlining website content governance for a critical financial services client.
• Developed robust API integrations with social media platforms for financial advisor marketing campaigns, demonstrating expertise in Martech-related solutions.
• Introduced and implemented new technologies and platforms from scratch, including AWS cloud technologies (EC2, Autoscale), version control (SVN), and CI/CD practices (CruiseControl.NET, MSBuild).

• Led transformative software development processes by introducing code versioning, build automation, and coding standards, significantly reducing failed code deployments, and enabling remote team collaboration for faster delivery of high-quality products.
• Managed backend systems integration, including creating a mailing service integration with USPS featuring 2D barcoding, to increase productivity and reduce errors.
