Expertise / 01—05
I work with organizations that need senior technical leadership for complex architecture decisions, cloud transformation, security modernization, large-scale migration, AI adoption, or distributed-systems design.
Senior architecture leadership without the cost or delay of a permanent executive hire. For infrastructure-heavy, regulated, or technically complex businesses, this scope may also operate as a fractional CTO mandate.
Independent architecture and security leadership across AWS, Google Cloud, hybrid environments, and enterprise platforms.
Strategy and architecture for complex migrations involving large, dependent, or regulated data estates.
Practical infrastructure and governance for enterprise AI and large language model adoption.
Architecture for peer-to-peer, distributed compute, distributed storage, telemetry, resilience, and workload coordination.
Evidence / Selected Impact
A career spanning early cloud adoption, enterprise transformation, security leadership, independent consulting, and current distributed-systems development.
Led cloud and data-migration initiatives involving more than 10 petabytes of data across multiple customer environments.
Led infrastructure-modernization initiatives projected to save more than $20 million.
Reduced one AWS customer environment from approximately 3,000 instances to 500.
Advised global customers ranging from Fortune 20 enterprises to high-growth startups on cloud architecture, resilience, operations, adoption, and transformation.
Created Infrastructure Event Management while serving as an AWS Technical Account Manager, establishing a new service for planning and supporting critical customer events.
Designed cloud architecture for fintech, healthcare, gaming, retail, media, automotive, technology, and public-sector organizations supporting thousands of users.
Founded and operated an independent consultancy serving government, retail, automotive, healthcare, and enterprise customers.
Built and led a Google Cloud security practice.
Helped acquire AWS Platinum support accounts and contributed to more than $1 million in new business.
Engagements / 01—04
Engagements can begin with a focused assessment, an independent review, or ongoing architecture leadership.
A focused review of the current environment, major risks, constraints, and target outcomes.
Typical outputs
Objective review of architecture proposed by internal teams, cloud providers, vendors, or systems integrators.
Typical outputs
Ongoing senior architecture leadership for organizations that need executive-level technical direction without a permanent Chief Architect.
Typical responsibilities
Embedded architecture ownership for cloud, security, migration, AI, or platform-modernization programs.
Typical responsibilities
Approach / Why Work With Me
I work comfortably with CIOs, CTOs, CISOs, founders, engineering leaders, security teams, delivery partners, and technical specialists.
More than three decades of infrastructure and architecture experience across senior consulting, director, founder, and AWS Technical Account Manager roles.
Active work across cloud architecture, security, Linux, distributed systems, Rust, peer-to-peer networking, AI infrastructure, and automation.
Advice based on customer outcomes rather than cloud-provider quotas, implementation revenue, or a required vendor preference.
Ability to move from executive strategy and target-state architecture into governance, delivery guidance, risk resolution, and operational transition.
In Practice / Current Work
Active engineering and research keep my architecture advice grounded in the constraints of systems being built now.
