Infrastructure leadership that reduces uncertainty
Predictable operations, clear accountability, and systems that support the business instead of distracting it.
Core leadership strengths
Infrastructure strategy and roadmapping
I build roadmaps that prioritize risk reduction first and modernization second. Change happens without interrupting daily operations, and the sequencing makes sense to non-technical stakeholders.
Team leadership and mentoring
I set expectations, build repeatable processes, and reduce firefighting. Documentation, sane on-call habits, and calm incident response are non-negotiable.
Vendor and budget management
I align vendors and contracts to outcomes, not slide decks. Spend stays tied to measurable value, and weak proposals get challenged before they become expensive.
How I typically engage
Senior infrastructure manager or director
I own reliability across on-prem and cloud infrastructure, identity, storage, backup, and disaster recovery. Security, development, and business stakeholders stay aligned.
Hands-on architecture and escalation point
I stay technical by design. Standards matter, and complex issues get handled, not escalated into limbo while everyone hopes for the best.
Change and modernization leader
I lead major transitions: platform upgrades, datacenter moves, and consolidation into virtualized or cloud environments. The work is paced to keep the lights on.
Selected leadership outcomes
High availability platforms
Delivered virtualization platforms where hardware failures became an inconvenience, not an outage. Capacity planning and recovery procedures were documented and repeatable.
Network and security improvements
Reduced blast radius with segmentation, sensible firewall policy, and VPN designs that work for real users.
Backup and recovery that works
Implemented backup and recovery with documented runbooks and regular test restores. Backups moved from “we hope” to “we proved it.”
