Who You'll Work With
Senior expertise, direct access
I work exclusively as an independent consultant — you get direct access to senior-level expertise, not a junior engineer managed by a project manager. I embed in your environment, deliver working infrastructure, write the documentation, and transfer the knowledge.
- 15+ years, exclusively enterprise middleware
- Cleared work: DISA, TSA, Defense Logistics Agency
- Fortune 500 financial: Raymond James, Capital Group
- Independent — you work with me, not a bench
Let's Work Together
Your next middleware engagement starts with a conversation
Whether you need an IBM MQ HA assessment, a Kafka migration plan, or a full platform modernization — I'll help you scope it and deliver it.
