Hands-on, AI-enabled Software Architect and industry author delivering and stabilizing revenue-critical systems ($5M–$80M/month) in complex, fast-moving environments. I step into high-risk situations, translate ambiguous SaaS, ERP, and product requirements into working systems, and drive measurable outcomes under tight timelines (2× KPI improvements, 70%+ defect reduction) across Fortune 500, PE-backed, and Seed-Series A-C startup organizations.
I deliver outcomes with a GTM mindset, focusing on risk reduction, clean system design, and measurable performance. Consistent with my book The Restruct Handbook — An AI-First Operating Methodology for Modern Software Organizations , I ramp quickly into new environments, shipping production-ready solutions without slowing timelines, with an emphasis on long-term velocity and stability while maintaining a trusted reputation with teams and customers.
