My career has thus far, been about using technology to help clients gain a competitive advantage, protect their organization from external and internal threats, and provide guidance on which solutions are best suited for them.
Working for, and running a Managed Service Provider has given me the unique opportunity to work with clients across numerous industries. These include state and local government, law enforcement, non-profits, high-tech, agriculture, legal, and education.
I have helped a number of clients execute a shift from CapEx to OpEx models utilizing shifts to cloud providers.
Ive Filled CTO / CIO roles for clients during transitionary periods in both public and private sectors.
I have assisted and run large scale deployments across the country for multiple Fortune 100 companies.
I spend an equal amount of personal and professional time exploring new technologies. These can range from Additive Manufacturing (3D Printing), to Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, to the latest full-stack technologies (This site is a direct result of that).
I believe technology must solve a practical problem for it to be considered business critical or ready for adoption. There is a chasm between bleeding, and cutting edge technologies.
My first personal website was hosted on Geocities and built from nothing but HTML. This one runs on Next.JS 13. Its been an interesting progression.
