I've Led the Strategy and Done the Work. AI Just Raised the Ceiling.
I've spent 20 years leading technology at the executive level, managing teams, owning roadmaps, partnering with the C-suite. At this point in my career, I delegate what should be delegated. But AI has changed what one person can build, and I've been building. This site documents both sides: the client work and the AI systems I've put together myself.
By the numbers
What I do
End-to-end technology leadership
From ERP strategy through implementation, integration, and platform modernization. With 20 years of hands-on experience across finance, retail, aviation, and ecommerce, leading both onshore and offshore delivery teams.
AI / POC Lab
Not just aware of AI. Using it.
The AI/POC Lab documents what I've actually built — working systems, not opinions about what AI can do. A job search agent managing 60+ applications across 50+ sessions. A college decision tool built for a real family navigating 12 schools. A full-stack ecommerce platform built with Claude Code from the ground up. More in progress.
