I find what's costing your
business money. Then I fix it.

18 years building enterprise infrastructure, AI-driven automation, and production platforms from scratch. I think like a strategist, lead like an executive, and execute like an engineer.

One-click OpenShift cluster deployment — an entire enterprise Kubernetes platform from a single command

Deploying a Red Hat OpenShift cluster in an enterprise environment is a multi-day, multi-engineer process involving node provisioning, network configuration, storage setup, certificate management, operator installation, and registry configuration. At Centene, the process was manual, error-prone, and required deep expertise every time a new cluster was needed.

I designed and built a comprehensive Ansible playbook that automated the entire OpenShift cluster deployment lifecycle — from bare infrastructure through a fully operational cluster — triggerable with a single command. What previously took multiple engineers several days became a repeatable, auditable, one-click operation.

Outcome

Multi-day manual cluster deployments reduced to a single automated command. Eliminated human error from a complex, high-stakes process. Enabled the team to deploy new environments in a fraction of the time with complete consistency and repeatability.

Built a complete QuickBooks replacement for a 100+ agent brokerage — from scratch

As Avenue Homes scaled past 50 agents, the financial management burden became unsustainable. QuickBooks wasn't built for the complexity of real estate brokerage commission structures, agent splits, transaction tracking, and the reporting that brokers and agents need in real time.

I designed and built a fully custom financial management system integrated directly into the brokerage platform. The system handles commission calculations, agent splits, transaction lifecycle tracking, invoicing, and executive reporting — all connected to the same data layer that powers the agent portal, MLS integration, and mobile apps.

Outcome

Eliminated QuickBooks entirely. Brokers and agents now have real-time financial visibility inside the same platform they use every day. Admin overhead for commission processing dropped significantly. The system scaled seamlessly from 50 to 100+ agents without any architectural changes.

AI-powered operations dashboard built in under one week — replacing hours of daily manual reporting

Leadership at a Fortune 500 freight enterprise was spending hours every day manually pulling data from multiple disconnected systems, building reports in spreadsheets, and making operational decisions on information that was already hours old by the time it reached them.

I designed and built an AI-powered operations dashboard that integrated with multiple enterprise APIs, normalized the data, applied intelligent analysis, and surfaced real-time business intelligence in a single unified view. The entire system was designed, built, and deployed in under one week.

Outcome

Hours of daily manual reporting eliminated entirely. Leadership now has real-time operational intelligence available on demand. Decisions that previously relied on stale spreadsheet data are now driven by live, AI-analyzed information.

Enterprise-grade. Self-built. Always on.

Every product I run lives on a private 2-node Proxmox cloud I designed and built from the ground up — architected like an enterprise data center, not a hobbyist setup.
