Executive summary
Cloud, application, and AI technology consultant. I help founders and enterprise teams turn ambiguous business goals into production-grade platforms — combining 20+ years of architecture depth with the urgency of an operator who ships.

Depth
Every engagement starts with the real workflow — not a tool demo.
Precision
Tight scope, measurable KPIs, no AI theatre.
Independence
Vendor neutral. No affiliate kickbacks. Your interests first.
Executive profile
Technology strategist and startup founder with two decades shipping cloud platforms, SaaS products, enterprise integrations, AI systems, and large-scale automation programs. I bridge product, engineering, and operations — translating fuzzy business intent into reference architectures, roadmaps, and working software. Comfortable in the boardroom and in the codebase: I design the operating model, then build alongside the team that runs it.
