About Me
As the owner of a software development and IT consulting company, I work directly with CIOs, CTOs, and executive leadership to redefine the role of IT within the business. My mission is simple but essential: to make IT visible, strategic, and indispensable—not just as a technical function, but as a core driver of business value, resilience, and growth.
Too often, IT is seen as a backend utility or reactive support team. I change that perception by working with leadership to elevate IT’s role across security, operations, user experience, and business continuity. From facilitating strategic planning to running audits and governance reviews, I help companies align their technology environments with their larger business objectives—whether that’s reducing operational overhead, improving data quality, or scaling for market expansion.
I’ve led conversations that bridge technical and non-technical teams, enabling smarter decision-making around everything from process improvement and automation to data architecture, ingestion pipelines, and AI/ML strategy. Whether it’s architecting scalable backup systems, building redundancy plans, or helping teams rethink data integrity and analytics pipelines, I bring a cross-functional lens that balances technical precision with business clarity.
Key areas I work in include:
Strategic IT Planning & Governance
Process Identification & Optimization
Data Management, Engineering & Integrity
Software Architecture & Development Oversight
AI/ML Project Planning & Deployment
Backup Infrastructure, Redundancy & Recovery
Security Planning & Business Continuity Alignment
At the heart of it all: I help leadership see IT not as a cost center, but as a catalyst—a dynamic force woven into every facet of the business.
