What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead secure cloud modernization and responsible AI adoption in regulated software environments while staying engaged in architecture, complex problem-solving, and engineering-team development.

I've led software engineering organizations at Transcard Payments, Alliant Data Systems/Benchmark ITS, and NCP Solutions, modernizing regulated payment, EdTech, and managed-services platforms.

At Transcard, I led an 11-person engineering and QA organization across 100+ applications supporting RTP, Open Banking, ACH, card processing, virtual cards, and embedded payments. I directed remediation of 1,000+ vulnerabilities in under six months with a 99.6% cure rate while maintaining production continuity.

At Alliant Data Systems/Benchmark ITS, I lead technology strategy, architecture, cloud infrastructure, security, operations, and an approximately $5M annual technology budget. I modernized a legacy SaaS platform, reduced annual hosting costs by $200K+, and built CI/CD practices that increased release frequency by 300%.

I'm also lead architect for PRISM Clinical Technologies, designing governed AI capabilities with explainable reasoning, physician oversight, auditability, RAG, agentic workflows, and human-in-the-loop approval. I stay hands-on with C#/.NET, SQL Server, APIs, cloud architecture, prototyping, and complex technical problem-solving.
