CTO | Technology Executive | Fractional CTO | AI Strategy & Governance
Aligning Technology Decisions with Business Outcomes
Technology leadership for AI strategy, Kubernetes, cybersecurity, technology due diligence, platform modernization, and executive decision-making.
I help founders, CEOs, boards, investors, and technology leaders understand technology risk, set priorities, govern emerging capabilities, and translate engineering work into business outcomes.
How I Help
Technology leadership is most valuable when it clarifies ownership, tradeoffs, risk, cost, and outcomes.
Technology Due Diligence
Assessment of architecture, security, cloud platforms, engineering process, AI readiness, key-person risk, and post-close priorities.
AI Strategy & Governance
AI use case review, data sensitivity, model governance, human oversight, cost controls, vendor risk, and board-ready reporting.
Why Work With Me
I bring 20+ years of experience across Linux, Kubernetes, cloud-native platforms, open source, cybersecurity, AI, and technology strategy.
My work focuses on making complex technology decisions clear enough for leadership teams to act on them.
Operating Principle
Technology issues become business problems when leadership does not make ownership, tradeoffs, risk, and outcomes explicit.
