Technology leadership
that ships.

Two decades of systems programming, security research, and reverse engineering — now applied to technical leadership and software architecture. I don't delegate the hard parts.

Three pillars of
technical impact.

Deep technical execution paired with strategic leadership. Not advice from the sidelines — hands-on engineering from someone who's been in the codebase.

Fractional CTO

Strategic technology leadership for growing companies. Architecture decisions, vendor evaluation, team direction, and technical roadmapping — without the quarter-million salary.

Strategy Architecture Roadmapping Team Leadership

Software Architecture & Development

System design, full-stack development, and hands-on code leadership. From architecture reviews and performance optimization to technical debt reduction — building software that scales cleanly and ships reliably.

Architecture Full-Stack Code Review Performance

Infrastructure & DevOps

Linux systems administration, CI/CD pipelines, deployment automation, and server hardening. Security audits, monitoring, and infrastructure that runs reliably without constant hand-holding.

Built different.

Most technology consultants come from product management or business backgrounds. I come from the opposite end — two decades of systems-level programming, security research, and reverse engineering. That background informs how I approach security assessments and system hardening today.

That foundation means I can sit in a boardroom and discuss technical strategy, then walk downstairs and actually implement it. Architecture reviews, code reviews, vulnerability assessments, infrastructure buildouts — I don't delegate the hard parts because I'm the one who does them.

Currently serving clients in the energy services and HSE compliance sectors in the greater Houston area, building practical systems that solve real operational problems.
