Technology Consultation & Professional Services
38 years of building, securing, and scaling enterprise systems — from aerospace manufacturing to PayPal's payment infrastructure. I bring Fortune 100 architecture discipline to organizations navigating cloud migration, AI adoption, risk governance, and digital transformation.
Fractional CTO / CRO
Strategic technology leadership on demand
Embedded executive-level technology and risk leadership for organizations navigating complex digital landscapes. Bring Fortune 100 architecture discipline to your team without the full-time commitment.
Key Deliverables
- Technology strategy and roadmap development
- Board-level advisory and investor technical diligence
- Vendor evaluation and technology stack selection
- M&A technical due diligence and integration planning
- Engineering team assessment and mentoring
- Risk governance frameworks and oversight programs
Enterprise Architecture & Cloud
Scalable, resilient systems built to last
Cloud-native architecture design from organizations that demand five-nines reliability. 11 years at Charles Schwab and 12+ at PayPal taught me what survives at scale — and what doesn't.
Key Deliverables
- Cloud-native architecture design (AWS, Azure)
- Microservices migration and platform engineering
- Infrastructure as Code (CDK, Terraform, CloudFormation)
- High-availability design targeting 99.999% SLA
- API design, gateway strategy, and integration patterns
- Cost optimization and capacity planning
AI & Intelligent Systems
From prototype to production-grade AI
Multi-agent orchestration, RAG pipelines, and autonomous ML systems designed for enterprise deployment. Not just prompts — deterministic, observable, governable AI architectures.
Key Deliverables
- Multi-agent orchestration systems (LangGraph, LangChain)
- RAG pipeline design with vector databases (pgvector, Qdrant)
- LLM integration strategy and prompt engineering
- ML pipeline automation with self-improving feedback loops
- AI governance frameworks and deterministic control flow
- MCP server design for tool-augmented AI agents
Risk, Security & Compliance
Visibility precedes control. Control precedes optimization.
Enterprise risk oversight, security architecture, and compliance frameworks forged at PayPal-scale. 2nd Line Risk across six domains, three patents in automated detection, and years of PCI/SOX/NIST execution.
Key Deliverables
- 2nd Line Risk Oversight program design
- NIST CSF, DORA, and SOX compliance frameworks
- Identity and Access Management modernization
- Security architecture review and threat modeling
- Incident management and response automation
- Bug bounty program operationalization
Observability & Resilience
If you can't see it, you can't fix it
Monitoring platform consolidation, real-time alerting, and availability engineering. Eliminated $12M in redundant tooling at Schwab while reducing unplanned downtime by 99%.
Key Deliverables
- Observability platform strategy and consolidation
- Real-time alerting and anomaly detection pipelines
- Incident management process design
- Performance tuning and capacity planning
- SLA/SLO definition and measurement frameworks
- Cost elimination through tooling rationalization
Digital Transformation
Legacy to modern, methodically and safely
End-to-end technology modernization for organizations in regulated industries. From manufacturing floor to cloud-native — designed for fintech, payments, healthcare, and other high-compliance environments.
Key Deliverables
- Legacy-to-cloud migration strategy and execution
- Process automation and workflow modernization
- Full-stack ecosystem design and integration
- Organizational technology roadmaps
- Change management and adoption frameworks
- Regulatory compliance throughout transformation
Industries Served
Deep experience across high-risk, high-compliance industries
