MARSHAL
PATERSON

Situation: Engineering velocity optimisation required systemic integration of AI across active SDLC pipelines.

Action: Championed integration of advanced LLM architectures, context-aware coding assistants (Claude Code), and automated workflow platforms (n8n) into daily engineering workflows.

Result: Reduced cycle-to-delivery friction across mobile and frontend tracks through AI-augmented development processes.
