20+ years building and securing enterprise IT environments — and shipping the products that run on them. From concept to production deployment, with a security-first mindset throughout.
Every system I build starts with security. Every product I ship runs on infrastructure I designed.
SOC 2, HIPAA, and GDPR compliance at scale. Zero Trust network design, SIEM implementation, endpoint management, and incident response — for an AI company where the stakes are high.
Designed a full 3-spine/6-leaf data center fabric for an AI company's server fleet. Planned and operated multi-product SaaS hosting infrastructure serving live users daily.
Built production SaaS platforms from concept through deployment — full-stack, with AI integration baked in. Co-founded a multi-product creative tech company with 7 live brands.
I don't just manage infrastructure. I build the systems that run on it.
Self-hosted, enterprise-grade ITSM built from the ground up. 10-container Docker stack, autonomous AI remediation agent, 41 ticket types, Slack-integrated approval workflows, Active Directory sync. Replaced commercial tools quoted at up to $152K/year.
Recipe manager and event execution engine with a backward-planning scheduler. Assigns cooking steps to appliance lanes, enforces human bandwidth limits, and handles allergen safety. Designed, built, and operate the entire stack.
Designed a 3-spine/6-leaf, all-100G data center network fabric for an AI company's server fleet — replacing a flat network with a BGP underlay, VLT peer pairs, ECMP across all three spines, and Anycast Gateway per zone.
Chicago-area creative tech umbrella company I co-founded. 7 live product brands across apparel, software, music, and education — all running on shared infrastructure I designed, built, and operate.
I've spent 20+ years in IT and cybersecurity, but what drives me is building things that actually solve problems — not just maintaining what exists. From an enterprise network fabric to a SaaS recipe scheduler, every project starts with the same question: "What's the right way to build this?" — and security is always part of that answer.
