AI Systems Architect and Product Builder

Winslow Tandler

I work with enterprise change and program teams to uncover operational problems and create Microsoft-native AI products. I own the work from stakeholder discovery and product design through launch, governance, compliance, and production support.

I use coding agents to turn product requirements into production software while retaining responsibility for system design, quality, release decisions, and ongoing operations.

How I work

  1. 1. Start with the work.

    I learn how stakeholders make decisions, where effort is lost, and which problems have not yet become formal requirements.

  2. 2. Define the product.

    I turn the operating problem into a workflow, system design, success measures, and release plan that fit the organization's existing tools and controls.

  3. 3. Own it in production.

    I direct coding agents, test the product, manage releases, support users, maintain compliance, and keep improving it after launch.

Microsoft ecosystem

Most of my enterprise work lives in the Microsoft ecosystem. I build with Power Platform, Power Apps canvas, model-driven and code apps, Dataverse, Copilot Studio, Power Automate, Azure, Azure DevOps Boards and work items, Microsoft Fabric, Azure AI Foundry, Azure OpenAI, Azure AI Search, Microsoft Graph, and Entra ID.

Enterprise change and operations

All projects

Agentic Intake

live

AI-assisted program intake for a portfolio office handling about 60 programs per quarter. It reduces charter, readiness, risk, and routing preparation from 6-10 hours to about 10 minutes while keeping the final decision with a person.

Threadbase

in-progress

A proactive portfolio-intelligence platform for enterprise change leaders. It reads the reports, presentations, assessments, and transcripts teams already produce and surfaces changes, risks, dependencies, and conflicting accounts with every finding tied to its evidence.
