As a principal software architect with over 20 years of experience designing, modernizing, and operating enterprise software systems, I’ve worked across front-end and back-end engineering, solution architecture, cloud and DevOps, data systems and engineering, UI/UX design, and executive technical leadership, which allows me to approach architecture with a holistic, risk-aware perspective.
My expertise was established in SaaS, B2B ERP systems, platform development, and consumer digital experiences for the energy, industrial, healthcare, and logistics industries, with values based on efficiency, quality, fairness, and teaching.
Most of my work today focuses on legacy system modernization, delivery risk reduction, and lean project execution inside SME organizations. I founded Vestive® and the Restruct™ methodology to formalize a phase-based, architecture-first approach that emphasizes accountability, durability, and measurable outcomes.
Career Highlights
Vestive | Founding Architect, Managing Partner | 2024-present |
Vestive’s foundation and fractional, fixed-price architecture delivery model is grounded in my Restruct™ methodology, which formalizes a phase-based SDLC and clearly separates architectural responsibility from execution to reduce delivery risk.
Halliburton (via Vestive) | Lead Architect, Project Manager | 2018-2025 |
Led modernization of their legacy enterprise billing and accounting ERP SaaS and related logistics systems, while improving delivery practices, version control/project management processes, and QA/UAT cycle times.

Founding architect at Endgen, responsible for cloud infrastructure and orchestration including a containerized remote development platform, marketplace for closed-source SDKs using proprietary Docker daemon injection, and flagship turn-key SDK supporting data, message brokering, and application layers.
The Daily Beast | Tech Lead, CTO Assistant | 10/2014-6/2015 |
Led the software team reorganization, managed budget and hiring, and modernized the publishing platform to support a new, scalable client-facing news site.
Methodology
The foundation of a system must be stable and deliberate, while higher-level features remain flexible and adaptive.
My methodology emphasizes a clear separation between architecture and execution, treats delivery as inherently phase-based, data-driven UX decisions, and early economic and behavioral risk analysis to improve latent delivery and quality issues.
Personal Interests
Martial arts practitioner, musician/audiophile, motorcycling enthusiast, and dog lover.
