I own the architecture and build the solution. For mid-sized organizations with complex integration and automation problems — NetSuite, Azure, .NET — I bring principal-level thinking without the overhead of a large firm or the risk of a bait-and-switch.

20+ years hands-on across manufacturing, life sciences, and financial services. I design the integration landscape and write the code. ERP and CRM integrations are my focus — especially NetSuite and Azure — where the right design prevents years of technical debt and the right implementation actually ships.

Good integration work is invisible. When it is done right, data flows, operations run, and nobody thinks about the system. When it is done wrong, it becomes the thing everyone complains about for years. I take the first path seriously.
I believe the most valuable thing a senior engineer can do is bring judgment — knowing which problems are worth solving, which designs will hold up under real-world load, and when a simple answer beats an elegant one. I have been building production systems for over 20 years and I am still hands-on in the code. That combination is rarer than it should be.
Above all, I am a disciple of Jesus Christ. My faith is the foundation for how I live and work — with integrity, patience, and a commitment to doing right by the people I serve.
I work in short iterations — one to two weeks at a time. Real stakeholders engaged throughout, not just at handoff points. Working software reviewed and adjusted as it takes shape, so the outcome stays aligned with what actually matters. It is how I have worked for 20 years.
This model requires active engagement from your organization. Here is an honest look at where it works and where it probably does not.
Engagements are structured as a weekly retainer with a minimum four-week commitment — enough time to deliver something real without locking either side into a long fixed contract. Most continue as long as there is value to deliver. Either side can end with two weeks notice.
If the first list sounds like you, let's talk.
