Hello, I'm
Pioneer at the Edge of What's Possible
Technology should disappear into the background — leaving only clarity, speed, and trust in its place. For two decades I've been drawn to the space between vision and execution: taking something abstract and building it into something real that endures.
Get to Know MeI'm a technology architect based in South Carolina with over two decades of experience spanning software engineering, enterprise architecture, cloud infrastructure, and AI-driven digital transformation.
My career has taken me from writing code as a developer since high school to directing global IT strategy at aerospace giant Boeing for more than a decade. I spent time leading a large engineering team across SC Government Branches, using technology to serve residents across state agencies, and today I architect secure healthcare data solutions at ArizeIT.
What drives me is the intersection of technology and real-world impact — whether that's applying predictive analytics to prevent costly failures, keeping mission-critical systems available for the people who depend on them, or building AI pipelines that keep manufacturing lines running smoothly.
When I'm not architecting systems, you'll find me with my hands in something tangible. I'm an avid woodworker — there's something grounding about turning raw lumber into furniture that will outlast me. I've rebuilt motorcycles from frames up, and I build high-performance computing rigs the same way: obsessively, piece by piece.
Winter means snowboarding, and if there's fresh powder on the mountain, I'm already there. For me, life works best when it's balanced — the discipline of engineering meets the freedom of creativity. Whether I'm standing up a Kubernetes cluster or chiseling a dovetail joint, the mindset is the same: measure twice, commit once, make it last.
Engineered secure EHR/EMR integration solutions with HIPAA compliance. Built real-time data pipelines using Apache Kafka for streaming sensor and anomaly detection. Led a team of 8 developers through full-lifecycle development, leveraging AI-assisted tools (Claude Code, Cursor) with governance controls. Implemented Microsoft Power Platform including Copilot Studio pilots.
Led a 50-member team supporting 1M+ annual users across state agencies and government partners. Managed a $40M+ technology budget, reducing operational costs by 18% through vendor renegotiations. Cut vulnerabilities by 40% via proactive risk management frameworks and introduced Infrastructure-as-Code practices.
Directed enterprise architecture and smart factory initiatives for global operations over a decade. Led integration of Windchill PLM, SAP ERP, CATIA/ENOVIA across manufacturing divisions. Developed AI/ML pipelines using TensorFlow and PyTorch for predictive maintenance that saved $4.2M annually. Architected hybrid cloud infrastructure achieving 99.95% uptime.
Architected ClaimXpert insurance claims platform serving 10,000+ users. Led design of PolicyPro using microservices and SOA patterns. Reduced system latency by 35% and improved reliability by 40%. Established CI/CD pipelines with TeamCity and Octopus Deploy.
Served as subject matter expert in Microsoft technologies. Led implementation of PointRoll Digital Marketing platform using .NET/C#, driving a 40% increase in ad revenue for clients.
Built enterprise applications using ASP.NET MVC, WCF, and LINQ. Focused on SQL query optimization, UI enhancements, and Agile methodologies — laying the foundation for an architecture career.
