TECHNOLOGY EXECUTIVE & FOUNDER

Enterprise-grade, at founder speed.

I turn legacy chaos into governed, modern systems that make money — running architecture and DevOps for a Fortune 500 insurer, then shipping three AI-native platforms from zero as a founder.

WHAT I DO

Two modes. One operator.

Most people are either the executive or the engineer. I've spent two decades being both — which is exactly what de-risks a hard hire.

AS A LEADER

Run the transformation everyone calls too risky

I lead engineering orgs and modernization at scale — architecture, DevOps, cloud, and delivery. At Berkshire Hathaway Homestate I was promoted through four roles to run platform engineering for a Fortune 500 insurer: 20+ engineers, an Azure migration, an enterprise DevOps transformation, and 99.9% uptime across core systems.

AS A BUILDER

Set direction and write the code that proves it

I still ship. I founded WizeWorks and built three AI-native SaaS platforms in 16 months — a full TypeScript monorepo with first-class MCP servers that give AI agents scoped, audited access to live business data. When you need someone who can both set the strategy and build the thing, that's the job I love.

SELECTED WORK

Proof, not adjectives.

PLATFORM · LIVE

Founder

sparx

A modular content & commerce OS — storefront, CMS, CRM, email, B2B, scheduling, and AI in one governed platform. MCP-native, so an assistant can actually run the business, not just chat about it. (This site runs on it.)

Founder

kanNINJA

Project and work management with native MCP integration to AI chat platforms — built out of frustration with bloated, upsell-heavy kanban tools. Boards and tasks an agent can actually drive.

Founder

AGCONN

A bilingual agricultural workforce platform connecting labor and operations — modern, governed infrastructure for an industry most of the software world ignores.

FORTUNE 500 · 12 YEARS

Enterprise

Enterprise modernization at scale

Moved a legacy insurance stack toward modern .NET Core and Azure, stood up an enterprise DevOps practice, and rebuilt a data-migration pipeline from seven days to fifteen minutes — without breaking systems that were already making money.

WHAT I BELIEVE

Most companies treat "move fast" and "build it right" as a choice. I've done both at once for two decades.

The tradeoff is mostly a story teams tell to excuse one or the other. And AI isn't a feature you bolt on at the end — I ship systems where agents have real, governed, audited access to live business data, because that's where the leverage actually is.

Let's talk.

Consulting or a direct role — if you're modernizing something that matters, or building something new, I want to hear about it.
