Executive + Technical
I bridge the gap between boardroom strategy and hands-on technical execution. I negotiate vendor contracts AND architect infrastructure. I present to CFOs AND write Ansible playbooks.
Proven at Scale
From $850M cruise ship launches to $350M luxury resort operations to 50-vessel fleet technology , 30 years of delivering results in complex, mission-critical environments.
Technology-Forward
I built an enterprise lab to evaluate AI for IT operations , and learned as much about where it shouldn’t be used as where it should. That judgment is what I bring to the table.
Featured Case Study
Enterprise Infrastructure Management Platform
I designed and built an enterprise-grade infrastructure platform with 8 custom API integration servers and 336 tools, measuring every session to validate the business case. 48 tracked sessions. A $240/year open-source stack replacing $75K-$109K in commercial software. The goal was proving that an IT leader who understands both strategy and implementation can deliver measurable results with emerging technology.
