I’ve spent two decades building the infrastructure that helps organizations actually work—not just function, but thrive.
My career started in Hollywood as a software engineer at Warner Bros., where I helped launch the HD DVD and Blu-ray formats. I learned web development at a boutique creative agency, then spent years traveling the world, volunteering at nonprofits. What started as short-term tech support turned into full-time positions at several of those organizations. I realized I wasn’t just fixing computers—I was building institutional capacity. I was creating the systems that let small teams accomplish big missions.
That’s when I stopped trying to specialize and started bringing everything to the table.
I’ve built e-commerce platforms from scratch that generated tens of thousands in new revenue. I’ve deployed Salesforce systems that coordinate 150+ international locations. I’ve rescued decades of institutional knowledge from degrading media and turned it into organized, accessible archives. I’ve migrated entire organizations to cloud infrastructure, negotiated vendor contracts that saved five figures annually, and established security protocols for public access computer labs.
I’ve also built computers for 30 years, managed multi-building campus networks, produced live streams, coded custom web applications, and yes—convinced organizations that sometimes the best technology solution is a pen and paper.
The pattern? I build things from the ground up, modernize what’s broken, and create infrastructure that gets out of people’s way so they can do their actual work.
How I Think About This Work
Technology should enable work, not create it.
If your collaboration tools take more time to manage than they save, something’s wrong. If your team spends more energy navigating your systems than serving your mission, that’s a problem worth solving. If long-standing tech issues persist because there’s never enough time or collective energy to address them, your organization isn’t operating at full capacity.
Here’s what I believe:
- Technology shouldn’t be a burden. The hidden cost of incompatible, insufficient, or overbearing technology shows up in lost productivity, staff frustration, and missed opportunities. When technology works right, people forget it’s there.
- Infrastructure should fit your actual circumstances. I don’t care what other organizations are doing. What does your organization need? The right solution depends on your size, your team’s skills, your budget, your growth trajectory, and your operational reality—not what’s trendy or what worked somewhere else.
- Sometimes the best technology is no technology. We’re all guilty of seeking technological solutions to technology’s problems. I’ll be the first person to say “use a spreadsheet” or “use a whiteboard” if that’s what actually works. My job is to solve problems, not to deploy technology for its own sake.
- Good infrastructure is invisible. If people are thinking about your systems, your systems aren’t working. The goal is infrastructure that fades into the background while enabling everything else to happen.
What I Can Do For You
Organizational Infrastructure
