Experience modernizing infrastructure, strengthening security, and building scalable data and AI systems across global nonprofit operations, high-profile fundraising events, and enterprise-scale technology environments.
I'm a senior IT leader specializing in cloud modernization, cybersecurity, data platforms, and enterprise infrastructure for mission-driven organizations.
Most of my career has been in nonprofits, where resources are limited, the mission is critical, and technology has to deliver real value. I lead hybrid-to-cloud transformations, Microsoft 365 and identity modernization, CRM ecosystem strategy, and the adoption of emerging AI and automation, improving data insight, productivity, and operational scale across the organization.
I also bring deep experience delivering reliable technology for high-profile live fundraising events, including temporary networks, vendor coordination, and production-critical connectivity, translating complex technical challenges into practical and resilient systems that support the mission.
Each engagement draws from the same foundation: reliable infrastructure, layered security, data that earns its keep, and automation that compounds.
Experience designing hybrid networks, identity systems, and cloud platforms focused on reliability, security, and long-term operational scale.
Zero Trust frameworks, cyber risk management, and policy-driven security aligned to organizational risk posture and regulatory requirements.
Practical adoption of AI orchestration and workflow automation that improves productivity, data insight, and operational scale, not technology for its own sake.
CRM strategy, integration pipelines, and analytics layers that turn disconnected sources into a single trusted view of the organization.
Production-critical IT for high-profile fundraising events: temporary networks, vendor coordination, and on-site connectivity when failure isn't an option.
Translating complex technical decisions into language leadership and boards can act on, including roadmaps, vendor strategy, and team development.
Initiatives that turned technical complexity into measurable organizational value.
Critical operational data was living in disconnected, unmanaged sources, updated manually, siloed from the CRM, and invisible to the teams that needed it most. Built a structured integration pipeline that surfaced dark data directly into the organization's CRM, creating a single source of truth.
Leadership was deciding from static spreadsheet exports and disconnected CRM reports, time-consuming to produce, hard to interpret, always out of date. Designed dashboards pulling live data from both the CRM and spreadsheet sources, giving stakeholders a unified, real-time view of the metrics that mattered.
Articles and perspectives on technology, leadership, and the evolving role of AI in mission-driven organizations.
Vendors have made "Zero Trust" sound like something you buy. In practice, it's a design principle: assume breach, verify explicitly, limit blast radius. The hard work is organizational, changing how people think about access, identity, and trust by default.
Every organization has data it's collecting but not using, including unmanaged spreadsheets, siloed systems, and stale exports on shared drives. That dark data isn't neutral. It's a liability for compliance, a gap in your analytics, and a sign of deeper integration debt that compounds over time.
Leadership can mandate AI tools, but that's really just a suggestion. Real adoption happens peer to peer, when someone figures out how it saves them an hour, shows a colleague, and it spreads. The organizations that get this right create space for that to happen.
Always open to conversations about technology leadership, data platforms, and the evolving role of AI in organizations.
