What I'm looking for

I’m seeking senior ERP solution architecture or lead NetSuite implementation contract roles where I can drive end-to-end projects, mentor teams, and deliver scalable manufacturing and WMS solutions.

I am a Solution Architect with deep expertise in NetSuite ERP, focused on end-to-end implementations for manufacturing, warehouse and distribution businesses.

I design solution architecture, produce scoping and cost analysis, create ERDs and process maps, and lead testing, development and deployment efforts to deliver robust manufacturing, WMS and financial solutions.

My work includes large-scale projects such as a national NetSuite implementation for a global seed potato provider, complex manufacturing and WIP solutions for medical robotics, and automation of inbound logistics and landed cost for consumer goods manufacturers.

I founded and led NetSuite professional services and cloud software ventures, combining technical delivery with business strategy, training and support to help clients achieve efficient, scalable ERP operations.
