Rick Moore
Platform Architect & Agentic Infrastructure Pioneer
Senior Platform Engineer with 25+ years of architectural lineage. Expert in bridging Legacy Infrastructure with Autonomous Cloud Operations and forming productive relationships to enable high-performing teams.
What Sets Me Apart: Agentic AI & Autonomous Systems
I am currently developing a proprietary Autonomous Chief of Staff (CoS) Agent—a meta-platform integrating Gemini 2.0 with autonomous tool-calling and self-healing infrastructure. I don't just deploy platforms; I build the AI systems that operate them.
Proof of Implementation: Sovereign Steward—an autonomous Chief of Staff agent managing ItsGravySeason.com.
