Twenty years turning ambiguity into architecture.
From telecom towers to trillion-parameter models.

01 — The Arc

From Signal to Intelligence

I've spent two decades at the intersection of networks and ambition — starting with RF signals bouncing off cell towers, and arriving at large language models reshaping how enterprises think. The thread through every chapter has been the same: take a program no one quite knows how to run, find the critical path, and deliver.

Along the way, I've led one of the largest AWS Outposts deployments ever attempted, driven a 10× increase in enterprise AI consumption for a Fortune 50 carrier, and built GenAI enablement programs that reached over a thousand engineers. Before all of that, I grew a telecom engineering practice 48% year-over-year and cut delivery costs by a third.

I turn ambiguous initiatives into measurable outcomes — multi-hundred-million-dollar programs, order-of-magnitude AI growth, and teams that ship.

03 — The Craft

What I Do Well

I operate at the seam between business ambition and engineering reality. The programs I run involve hundreds of people, executive steering committees, and technologies that didn't exist when the contracts were signed. My job is to make sure they ship anyway.
