Practice
Five service lines. One obligation: your P&L.
01
IT Carve-Outs & Business Separations
When a sponsor carves a business out of its parent, something has to replace the IT the parent used to provide. That target-state environment gets designed, migrated to, and then run — application and dependency analysis, data migration strategy, cutover sequencing, Day 1 readiness, Day 2 operations.
Two separations delivered for private-equity-owned clients as Technical Principal.
02
Cloud Operations & FinOps
Cloud is an uncontrolled expense until someone owns the unit economics. FinOps Foundation framework, FOCUS™ reporting, allocation taxonomy and chargeback governance — built as a practice, not a spreadsheet exercise.
18% AWS spend reduction — $884K annualized — as SVP of Cloud Operations.
03
Infrastructure Resilience
Roadmaps aligned to revenue. Disaster recovery that assumes the outage happens. Migration oversight that does not punish growth with downtime.
99.96% uptime across 50+ production AWS workloads.
04
Regulatory Governance
SOC 2 and PCI-DSS posture hardened through automated security guardrails and evidence automation, reported to Boards and Information Security Committees.
89% reduction in critical and high findings within 90 days.
05
Executive Technology Advisory
Board liaison, technical due diligence, hyperscaler and vendor negotiation. Retained advisory for leadership teams that need an accountable technology voice in the room.
$4.2M annual IT vendor portfolio directed to 98% SLA compliance.
Applied AI
An operator's view of AI, not a pilot deck.
Production agentic systems, built and run — not evaluated from a slide. Claude Code, the Anthropic Agent SDK, and MCP in day-to-day operational use.
Multi-tenant SaaS on Cloudflare Workers
A production platform on Workers with D1, KV, R2, Clerk and Stripe — designed, built and operated end to end.
Multi-entity FinOps portal
Automated bank reconciliation and AWS cost reporting across multiple entities, replacing manual month-end assembly.
Agentic engineering in practice
Agent loops with deterministic validators, where code decides facts and models only phrase them. The failure modes are known first-hand.

Every engagement starts with a no-obligation conversation.
The first deliverable is a defined-scope assessment — a cloud cost assessment, a vendor portfolio review, or a separation readiness review — with a written findings package.
