I take technology from "this should work" to "this actually works."

Field operations and implementation leader with 10+ years turning complex, real-world environments into structured, repeatable operations. I've deployed technology at scale, built the standards that made it stick, and owned the outcome when things went sideways.

Most effective where field expertise meets product thinking — and where the gap between what was promised and what gets delivered needs to close.
