I engage with organizations undergoing significant transformation, platform modernization, or enterprise AI adoption initiatives to own architecture, guide technical direction, and align systems, teams, and workflows toward durable outcomes.
What I Do
- Own technical direction, architecture, and long-term system integrity
- Design and evolve platforms across frontend, backend, data, and infrastructure
- Lead AI integration as an architectural concern, including governance, workflows, contracts, and system behavior.
- Establish design system architecture and orchestration across product surfaces
- Shape technical team structure as part of system design, including role definition and hiring guidance
- Translate between executive intent, product strategy, and engineering reality
- Make, and stand behind, hard technical decisions with organizational consequences
Where I'm Most Effective
- Growth-stage companies building or rebuilding their core platform
- Organizations modernizing legacy systems or integrating acquisitions
- Teams adopting AI where architectural clarity, governance, and trust matter
- Founders or executives who need CTO-shaped leadership without a permanent hire
Background Snapshot
- 15+ years across software engineering, system architecture, and technical leadership
- Experience spanning design systems, composable architectures, AI-integrated workflows, and enterprise platforms
- Comfortable operating at board, executive, and implementation levels
- Active writer and systems thinker with a parallel practice in AI prototyping and architectural research
Selected Projects
ASICS — Global Commerce Transformation
- Re-architected global commerce platform under federated governance.
- Enabled regional autonomy without fragmenting system integrity.
- Reduced conversion friction and operating costs as a structural consequence.
OpenSesame — Design System & DesignOps Formation
- Established DesignOps as a first-class platform domain unifying design, engineering, and product.
- Established reusable system primitives across product surfaces.
- Reduced duplication through structural standardization.
SouthLeft — DoXYZ Platform Modernization
- Introduced contract-driven, AI-assisted delivery architecture across platform initiatives.
- Reduced legacy fragmentation by enforcing shared system boundaries.
- Increased rollout velocity through structural coherence.
Zephyr / Prism / Radial Systems
- Unified, composable, AI-native radial system defined for enterprise-scale transformation.
- Workflows treated as first-class system concerns, not parallel or ad hoc paths.
- Governance and context enforced by contract, not prompt, enabling deterministic AI behavior.

Technical & Architectural Assessment
If your organization needs an independent view of its current technical and organizational state, particularly during growth, platform transition, or AI adoption, I offer a focused assessment designed to clarify risks, constraints, and opportunities.
- Fixed fee: $10,000
- Duration: Up to 2 weeks
- Executive briefing and written findings
- Optional high-level directional recommendations
If you're wondering how to get started, an assessment is a great way to begin.
