Executive Profile
Technical Director with 30 years in the industry. I work at the intersection of strategy and execution—advising senior leadership on technology direction while architecting the frameworks that make transformation real. Currently driving enterprise-scale initiatives: cloud migrations measured in petabytes, compliance automation, AI-enabled development.
My day-to-day is developing and reviewing architectures, writing technical standards, and translating business strategy into engineering reality. I've done this across logistics, e-commerce, and hosting—always at scale.
My focus: making the complex simple, the legacy modern, and the impossible possible.
