I work on complex systems, platforms, and technologies that have to operate reliably at scale while continuing to evolve. My focus is on helping institutions modernize without losing sight of the constraints, tradeoffs, and responsibilities that come with operating in the real world.

Enterprise Architecture and Systems Engineering are the lenses through which I do that work. Together, they provide a disciplined way to connect strategy to execution, design for longevity, and make complexity tractable rather than abstract.

My background includes executive leadership and chief architect roles in multiple industries and organizations, including LexisNexis, Deloitte, Sabre Holdings, IBM, and Electronic Data Systems.

A recurring theme in my work has been navigating legacy complexity in highly regulated environments while enabling customer-focused modernization. That includes serving as architect for the MERS system, building Sabre APIs to expose core airline reservation system transactions to the internet, leading global infrastructure integration and secure public-cloud adoption at Deloitte, and directing architecture and platform engineering for a $700 million digital transformation at LexisNexis.

I work closely with senior executives who need to connect big-picture intent with pragmatic execution to drive results, bringing clarity of thought, depth of expertise, and a systems-level understanding of how architectural decisions play out over time and at scale. This includes modernizing global infrastructure, designing transformative platforms, and building high-performing teams.

I hold a B.B.A from Baylor University and an M.A. from Columbia University.
