Solutions Engineer
& Technical Advisor

20+ years of enterprise IT experience turning complex technical challenges into clear, scalable solutions. From cloud architecture to iOS apps, I bridge the gap between what's technically possible and what actually moves the business forward.

Enterprise expertise meets builder mentality.

I'm a Senior Solutions Engineer with deep roots in the Microsoft ecosystem, including Azure, M365, and Intune. Over the past 17 years at Chevron Corporation, I've progressed through six distinct roles, from Infrastructure Systems Analyst to Solutions Engineer, serving as a technical advisor to stakeholders ranging from plant managers to C-level executives.

My sweet spot is translating complex technical capabilities into business outcomes. Whether I'm architecting enterprise mobility solutions, deploying intrinsically safe devices in hazardous refinery environments, or building a zero trust security architecture, I focus on what actually solves the problem at hand.

Outside of work, I'm a hands-on builder. I develop iOS applications, maintain a Kubernetes homelab with full monitoring infrastructure, and have built AI-powered automation tools using Claude and OpenAI APIs. That combination of enterprise experience and personal technical depth gives me a perspective that's hard to replicate.
