Work With Me
I help solve complex technology problems, strengthen infrastructure, and turn stalled projects into working systems.
My career started with physical network infrastructure and expanded into network operations, service-provider engineering, data centers, enterprise IT, application modernization, and technology leadership. That range gives me a broader understanding of how networks, systems, people, vendors, and business requirements affect one another.
I am most useful when a problem is complex, crosses several technical areas, or has reached the point where the usual answers are no longer working.
Consulting
I work with organizations that need experienced technical guidance, independent analysis, or temporary leadership for an important project or operational challenge.
That may include:
- Network architecture, design, and modernization
- Infrastructure assessments and technical reviews
- Reliability, resilience, and disaster recovery planning
- Incident analysis and post-incident improvement
- Technology strategy and roadmap development
- Vendor and solution evaluation
- Legacy infrastructure and application modernization
- Systems and application integration
- Technical project leadership
- Project recovery and risk assessment
- Fractional or interim IT leadership
- Documentation, standards, and operational process development
I can lead an initiative, provide an independent technical review, help an internal team work through a difficult problem, or step into a project that has lost direction.
The Problems I Work Best On
I am a good fit when:
- The problem does not fit neatly into one technical specialty
- Business and technical teams are struggling to communicate
- Several vendors are involved, but no one owns the complete solution
- A project has stalled or repeatedly failed
- You need an experienced second opinion before making a major investment
- Your environment has grown faster than its documentation, controls, or processes
- A legacy system needs to be stabilized, integrated, or replaced
- You need someone who can move between strategy, architecture, and implementation
- The problem has resisted normal troubleshooting
My approach is practical. I focus on understanding the actual problem, identifying the risks and constraints, and developing a plan that can realistically be implemented. I am comfortable working at a high level with leadership and then going deep enough technically to determine whether a proposed solution will actually work.
Start a Conversation
Send me a brief description of the problem, project, or decision you are working through.
Useful details include:
- Your current environment
- The problem you are trying to solve
- What has already been attempted
- Any deadlines or business constraints
- The type of assistance you believe you need
From there, we can determine whether my experience is a good match for the engagement.
