Chief Technology Officer

I architected and personally coded a production generative AI content system that replaced an eight-person writing department while improving output accuracy. I also built an agentic AI knowledge-management platform using Model Context Protocol, TypeScript, Node.js, and Python to unify Notion, Airtable, and internal documentation into a governed, queryable knowledge layer.

I reduced technology costs by 90%, representing more than $32,400 in annualized savings, through infrastructure re-architecture and legacy-to-modern migration. I conduct technical due diligence and codebase audits for private-equity-backed acquisitions and advise founders and boards on NIST AI RMF governance, enterprise architecture, technology risk, and capital-allocation decisions.

I modernized legacy transmission systems for a major West Coast utility provider supporting more than 14 million endpoints. The long-term modernization work was delivered without operational downtime.

I applied PLC, hardware, and controller-integration expertise to improve industrial-scale system reliability while maintaining uninterrupted service. Client details are withheld under NDA.

I reverse-engineered IoT hardware protocols for a global water infrastructure company. The work enabled field-deployed hardware communication at scale.

I supported a drive-by meter-reading capability operating at speeds of up to 40 mph. My work focused on practical protocol analysis, device communication, and scalable infrastructure integration.

I led a cloud migration initiative that reduced hosting costs by 41% while maintaining system performance. I also developed an ROI measurement framework to improve technology investment decisions.

I defined a multi-year technology roadmap and recruited, screened, tested, and hired engineering talent. My hiring work ranged from individual specialist placements to 14-person cross-departmental team builds.

I architected and coded secure, high-performance RESTful APIs for enterprise financial transaction processing. My work supported payment-services products in a fintech environment.

I defined the technology roadmap and system architecture for payment-processing products. I partnered with legal and compliance teams to address regulatory requirements and align technical delivery with business needs.

I served as the de facto CTO for a client engagement, leading Web, API, Mobile, and Sales CRM development functions. More than 40 developers and project managers reported through the organization.

I worked directly with CEOs and executive stakeholders across North America, Europe, and Japan to align technical delivery with business priorities. I designed a Trello-based operating system and later led its migration to Jira as the organization scaled.

I held additional consulting engagements as Interim CTO for The Cannabis Diary, Fractional CTO for Tutosh, and Technical Consultant for Innovia Colabs on airline systems. I also consulted on defense-sector asset-tracking systems designed for hostile, low-bandwidth environments.

Across self-employed roles, I operated as a full-stack software engineer, systems architect, business owner, and software developer. My client work included engagements for organizations such as DataBlender and covered software development, systems architecture, product delivery, and technical strategy.

Dual focus in Software Development and Information Systems Analysis.
