Message

At Turnberry Solutions, I advise large enterprise clients on digital and technology transformation across strategy, delivery, and staffing. I previously consulted with W. L. Gore & Associates’ consumer brands, including GOREWEAR and Sitka Gear, on IT needs and technical direction.

At Starforge Systems, I joined at the concept stage to build and lead a technical team, set technology vision, and launch e-commerce operations. We delivered the operation in under four months and grew from a concept to a national operation with 20 staff on a budget under $2MM.

At RITE AID, I managed the day-to-day work of up to 20 offshore developers on RiteAid.com. I architected and drove implementation of the buy-prescription-online/pick-up-in-store feature, which was critical during Covid.

At Maine Lobster Now, I delivered a customized Magento 2 e-commerce site and built integrations and shipping tools to support warehouse operations. My earlier web development work included e-commerce integrations, API development, and public-facing websites.
