Message

At Incline Consulting Partners, I map and redesign data integration workflows for automation, including the data structures needed for AI-powered SLA monitoring and bottleneck detection. I’ve also standardized ROI frameworks and built onboarding playbooks to help teams measure outcomes and reduce exceptions.

At Dakota, I replaced manual integration processes with API-driven and ETL pipelines that consolidated data for analytics and reporting. I also deployed event-driven data flows and built monitoring dashboards and automated retries to help teams spot and resolve integration failures.

At Status Go, I founded and grew a technology and consulting firm serving 250+ enterprise clients. I built TriageNow™, a decision-support platform using NLP-assisted documentation and rule-based logic, and led a 40-person team delivering enterprise integrations and automation.
