Efficiency Hiding in Plain Sight

Every operation leaks money through manual processes that nobody questions. I automated order entry and watched 75% of the manual work disappear — 1,000+ orders a day, handled automatically. Invoice processing? 86% reduction, 1,500+ invoices a day. I've replaced full-time headcount with automated shipping lines processing 3,000 cartons per hour. I don't add software... I subtract labor hours and error rates.

Systems That Actually Connect

Your ERP, your WMS, your CRM, your e-commerce platform should be one system, not five. I've built an entire integration backbone for a $1B+ enterprise: 75+ integrations, 100+ API endpoints, 100K+ documents flowing daily across middleware. I've consolidated nine payment providers into one and saved $3.5 million a year doing it. I've merged $880M+ in transaction volume across competing ERP systems.

Architecture You Won't Outgrow

Quick fixes create tomorrow's emergencies. I've chaired Architectural Review Boards, established architectural standards, and oversaw $2M+ in custom application development. The architecture has to be right before anyone writes a line of code. I build systems from day one that scale with you, so you're not re-platforming in two years.

The track record

I spent a decade and a half inside a mid-market manufacturer/distributor that grew into a major enterprise.

🏛️

Architecture & Integrations

VP of Architecture & Integrations at a $1B+ manufacturer/distributor. Oversaw company-wide IT architecture, chaired the Architectural Review Board, led retail to wholesale ERP integration for the retail division to migration to Dynamics365, and completed a 2+ year B2B migration combining $880M+ in transaction volume across one legacy ERP system to a modern ERP system.

👥

IT Leadership

VP of IT, Director of IT, and IT Manager for an international enterprise. Managed $2M+ annual budgets and teams of 7-10. Led construction of a 40K sqft office / 250K sqft warehouse facility, recovered from a ransomware attack, achieved PCI compliance, and launched a PIM consolidating 20K+ SKUs across 4 brands. I know a thing or two, because I've seen a thing or two.

💻

Development & Automation

Hired as my previous employer's first developer. Built the automation layer from scratch: order processing, invoice generation, WMS integration, EDI, data pipelines, and mailbox scraping tools that eliminated full-time roles and cut error rates across the business.

I know what breaks when you scale

I've recovered from ransomware attacks and led ERP migrations

I've done the hard stuff, on deadline, while the business kept running so you don't have to learn on the job.

I know where the bottlenecks hide

In order processing, in warehouse operations, in payment systems, in the gaps between platforms that nobody owns but everybody feels.

No decks, no frameworks, no six-month discovery

Not a 200-slide enterprise software pitch. Just someone who knows how to fix things and wants to help your business be built to scale for growth.

Your operation has more capacity than you think.

Let's find it.
