Professional background

1. Current

   Sr. Enterprise Architect — Enterprise IT / AI Enablement Group · DXC Technology

   Senior enterprise architect in the group responsible for making AI usable — and governable — across a global integrator's own enterprise IT. Owns enterprise architecture strategy and AI adoption architecture: the platforms, guardrails, and reference designs that decide whether AI becomes infrastructure or shelf-ware. This role is where the AI-integrity thinking published on this site gets pressure-tested daily.

   Client Technology Leader · DXC Technology

   Account-side CTO for a portfolio of large client accounts spanning healthcare, retail, and other industries. Sat on the account leadership teams and carried accountability for every technical decision across the portfolios — architecture direction, delivery standards, and the judgment calls between innovation and stability that account P&Ls live or die on.

   Manager — Solutioning & Digital Application Development · DXC Technology

   People manager for two teams totaling 30+ developers, designers, and solution architects delivering client-facing work. Built the operating rhythm — lead structure, review cadence, delegation layers — that let two teams ship concurrently without the manager becoming the bottleneck, and kept technical credibility while doing it. The management systems described in the leadership articles were developed here.

   Cloud Operations Capability Leader — US ITAR · DXC Technology

   Led a 15-engineer team operating 12+ US ITAR-regulated client cloud environments — patching, compliance, and technical decisions in a domain where every access decision is an export-control decision. Regulated-cloud operations at this level is where 'security by design' stops being a slogan and becomes the daily working condition.

5. 2020

   Senior Solution Architect · DXC Technology

   Client-facing senior solution architect; chaired the solution review board that every deal's technical design passed through. Running that board — deciding what constitutes a reviewable design, killing architectures that would not survive operations, and defending the decisions to sales — shaped the decision-record discipline argued for throughout this site.

6. 2019 – 2020

   Senior DevOps Engineer · DXC Technology

   Senior engineer and consultant for customer-facing CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure-as-code systems — creation, migration, and the unglamorous troubleshooting of delivery machinery that other teams depend on. The IaC operating-model positions published here were formed on this work.

   System Administrator · Chevron Oronite

   Senior system administrator for a working petrochemical plant — tier-3 support and administration of both the office network and the process-control networks, plus the application estate between them. Four years of keeping IT and OT running side by side, where a mistake on the wrong VLAN has physical consequences. The industrial-systems section of this site is written from this floor.

   Founder & CEO · Universal Hosting, LLC

   Founded a web and application hosting provider at 18 and operated it for twelve years — cPanel services, applications, and dedicated servers, with the founder handling everything from capacity planning to 3 AM restores. Twelve years of customers, migrations, and uptime obligations is the operational education behind every hosting and infrastructure opinion published here.

   Executive Assistant · Boy Scouts of America — SELA

   Executive assistant to the camp director: office administration, communications systems, camp and office IT, and the scout database estate. First professional taste of being the one person responsible for every system on a site — a small-scale preview of the service-provider years that followed.

10. 2009 – 2012

    Desktop Support Lead · Academy of Information Technology — JPPSS

    Led a 25+ student IT team supporting a campus while still in high school — training peers in technology and client-facing skills, handling in-house IT, and administering the campus-wide Novell infrastructure. The program's mentor drilled in the operating principle still taught to every team since: check, re-check, check again.

Off Hours

Leadership doesn't clock out: gaming operations

I believe complex multiplayer environments are legitimate leadership laboratories — real people, real logistics, real diplomacy, real-time crisis response. These are the operations I've run outside working hours.
