About
Content systems leader who builds the infrastructure, not just the strategy. I'm the sole architect of RBX, an AI-native content orchestration framework, and the Power portfolio and team modernization lead for IBM Redbooks.
AI Content Systems Architect & Modernization Lead
Building the systems that let technical content be authored, governed, and refreshed at enterprise scale.
- Role: Power Portfolio Lead & Team Modernization Lead, IBM Redbooks
- Location: Apex, NC (Remote)
- Focus: AI-native content architecture and agentic workflows
- Writing: inhumanloop.com
Most content strategy stops at the recommendation. Mine ships. RBX is built on atomic Markdown topics with governed metadata and immutable content identifiers, and it is now the production authoring system for the IBM Power portfolio — cutting time to publication by 30% and tripling content currency throughput, the rate at which published material can be assessed for staleness and refreshed.
Around that core I designed a 27-agent agentic production system spanning six phases from scope through publish, authored a 62-rule normative standard for Markdown optimized for AI retrieval (adopted as best practice by IBM Z Design), and built a Model Context Protocol server exposing the Redbooks corpus to internal AI tooling. In January 2026 I was named Power portfolio lead and team modernization lead, with organization-wide rollout scheduled for Q1 2027.
I founded and lead z-ai-accelerate, an internal IBM community educating IBM Z teams on AI-enabled content practice, and I'm a co-inventor on a filed U.S. patent application for bidirectional inference of personalized metalearning. I'm currently in the inaugural cohort of Boston University Questrom's M.S. in Business in AI, expected 2028.

Professional Experience
IBM Redbooks — IBM Z Business Unit
Power Portfolio Lead & Team Modernization Lead · January 2026 – Present
- Sole architect of RBX, an AI-native content orchestration framework built on atomic Markdown topics with governed metadata and immutable content identifiers — now the production authoring system for the portfolio. Cut time to publication by 30% and tripled content currency throughput.
- Raised technical accuracy by replacing bespoke per-project processes with a standardized, governed workflow: enforced metadata tracking, structured review and sign-off gates, and separation of producer and auditor roles.
- Drove the portfolio's migration from a legacy FrameMaker pipeline to Markdown/HTML publishing in three months (Q1 2026) in partnership with the team developer, then delivered the first modular publications on the new system in August 2026.
- Designed and shipped a 27-agent agentic production system spanning six phases from scope through publish, replacing a manual editorial pipeline.
- Built custom IBM Bob authoring skills that guide residency authors through drafting, embedding structural and editorial governance directly into the writing workflow rather than enforcing it downstream.
- Built and deployed a live topic-assembly platform prototype with immutable content identifiers and MCP-based delivery, validated at zero conformance violations against its authoring standard.
- Authored a 62-rule normative content standard governing Markdown optimized for AI retrieval, adopted as best practice by IBM Z Design.
- Developed a Model Context Protocol server exposing the Redbooks corpus to internal AI tooling through five retrieval tools.
- Consolidated fragmented content currency efforts into a single modular assessment and update workflow, making staleness measurable across the corpus instead of tracked title by title.
- Led evaluations of AI editing and document-conversion tooling against seeded benchmarks, including a documented no-go recommendation that prevented a corpus-wide migration to an unstable format.
- Lead the Power portfolio's project leader team and own the FY2027 portfolio plan, scoping publication commitments against headcount constraints.
- Scaling the system across the Power portfolio with eight further publications in flight for 2026 and organization-wide rollout to the broader Redbooks team scheduled for Q1 2027.
- Architected a synthetic persona methodology for tailored technical content, adopted across IBM Z content teams.
IBM Cloud Databases — Content Developer
2021 – 2024 · Remote (Raleigh, NC)
- Owned the documentation portfolio for nine IBM Cloud database offerings, including CLI and API reference.
- Authored the complete GA documentation set for the Databases for MySQL launch.
- Built tutorials, FAQs, and troubleshooting content serving enterprise clients globally.
- Partnered with UI/UX on product landing pages and in-product WalkMe guidance to increase engagement.
Secondary English Instruction — 16 Years
2005 – 2021
- Sustained a 98% Advanced Placement pass rate by making difficult material accessible without simplifying it.
- Presented at three national educational technology conferences; led faculty technology training.
