From Technical Architect to Strategic Leader

For over 25 years, I have built secure, intelligent systems that scale. From securing critical infrastructure for CISA to building end-to-end Machine Learning systems, my career has been defined by one mission: solving high-stakes problems where clarity is rare and innovation is paramount.

While my journey began in the "how" of technology—software development, Python, and cybersecurity—it has evolved into the "why" of leadership.

The Next Chapter: The AI Decision Advantage

In a world moving at AI speed, I’ve realized that the ultimate competitive advantage isn't the technology we choose—it's the quality of the decisions we make with it.

I am currently focusing my work on helping strategic leaders move away from being the "Chief Troubleshooting Officer" and toward becoming intentional architects of their organization's future. This transition is the core of my upcoming book, The AI Decision Advantage, launching in February 2026.

As I prepare for the book launch, I am consolidating my writing and strategic resources into a new central hub. I invite you to join me at The AI Decision Advantage website, where I provide weekly strategic orientations designed for business owners and leaders navigating the automated age.
