The hats are different. The job is the same.
Make technology useful, make teams sharper, and make the next decision clearer.
I lead technology at Symph, shaping delivery teams, architecture decisions, engineering culture, and the judgment calls that determine whether software reaches production cleanly.
I help organizations adopt AI where it creates operating leverage: automating workflows, augmenting teams, building agents, and creating practical governance around new capabilities.
I turn messy opportunities into working systems across technology ventures and several businesses in diverse industries, using technology as a common operating advantage.
I run practical sessions for founders, executives, government teams, and builders on generative AI, agentic workflows, software delivery, and organizational change.
How I can help.
If you’re choosing what to automate, rescuing a delivery effort, evaluating a product direction, or trying to make AI real inside an organization, I can help you think and build through it.
