Fractional CTO at Atlantic Innovation Services Inc. and Site Reliability Engineering Manager at GreenShield, delivering cloud and AI-powered systems.

Message

At Atlantic Innovation Services Inc., I founded AIS to help companies make better technology decisions and execute on them. I work as a fractional CTO and hands-on technical partner, guiding product direction and architecture while supporting delivery.

At GreenShield, I played a key role in integrating acquired startups into a unified cloud infrastructure. I also helped select a cloud migration solution and worked on vendor agreements to consolidate services and optimize costs.

At Inkblot Therapy, I designed security and privacy policies for regulatory requirements and SOC2 audits, and led the privacy and security team through government procurement approvals. I also managed products across cloud providers, optimizing infrastructure for performance and scalability.

Earlier, I developed a significant portion of Tranquility Online’s application and helped move it from an MVP to enterprise architecture. I’ve also built cloud infrastructure and software for AI systems, endurance sports communities, and a volunteer web app used by more than 300 volunteers.
