About

I’m an independent IT consultant with over 25 years of experience solving strange, urgent, and hard-to-define tech problems. Some clients call me when things break and no one knows why. Others bring me in afterward—when it’s time to understand what went wrong and build something better.

I specialize in clear thinking, asking the right questions, and staying with problems until they make sense. I work across many platforms, systems, and situations. I work hourly and track my time carefully, so you always know what you’re paying for and why.

What I bring is curiosity, breadth, and the ability to find signal in noise. I’ve built my career on navigating messy, cross-functional puzzles that often stump specialists. But I’m not just a generalist, I have deep, hard earned expertise in cybersecurity, systems architecture, networks, cloud and data center infrastructure. I'm CISSP and CEH certified, with a track record of tackling high stakes problems where security, stability, and clarity all matter.

That blend of wide-angle thinking and deep technical grounding means I can bridge gaps between teams, translate technical complexity into understandable terms, and push past surface-level fixes to get to the root of the issue.

When I dive into a problem, I don’t assume I already have all the answers. Instead, I ask: What is it about your world that I haven’t understood yet? That mindset helps me uncover the real issues and transfer clarity. You don’t just get a fix, you get understanding.

Services


  • Full-Stack Troubleshooting Across Layers and Silos

    I help untangle problems that don't fit neatly into one category. My version of “full stack” spans everything from physical infrastructure and networking to server code, DevSecOps, and user experience. When an issue crosses team boundaries, or no one knows quite where it lives, I bring the perspective to connect the dots and find a path forward.


  • Secure, Resilient Systems That Make Sense

    I design and stabilize systems where clarity, uptime, and security all matter. That might mean tracking down the cause of an outage, hardening a legacy environment, or mapping out an architecture that can grow with your needs. I work with a security-first mindset, whether responding to incidents or planning ahead, and I always aim to leave the system stronger than I found it.


  • Clarity-Driven Architecture, Prototypes & Problem Solving

    Some work is urgent. Some is ambiguous. Some starts with a whiteboard and a rough idea. I help clients move from uncertainty to clarity. Whether that's designing a solution, building a quick prototype, or translating business needs into technical plans. You have to be agile, think outside the box, remix what's already out there, and combine the pieces into something that works. That's where I come in.
