Why work with me?
I'm expert at building harmonious interfaces between people and the digital world—between scientists and computational solutions, between engineering teams and critical infrastructure, between your business and the multi-verse of technological possibilities. I bring over 20 years of experience in software engineering, IT infrastructure, DevOps, and Cloud Infrastructure to my clients in any industry or stage of business evolution. I have recent specialized experience working in the domain of small molecule drug discovery and previous DevOps consulting experience in industries like retail, financial & telco.
My engineering background shapes how I approach IT, especially in the areas of DevOps & DevEx. I write code to automate infrastructure, build deployment pipelines, and solve development challenges large and small. I understand the developer experience because I live it. That perspective is critical when building CI/CD systems and deploying cloud-native architectures that payoff for your developers and the organization at large.
My further experience as an IT leader gives me broad perspective on how to speak to product teams, entrepreneurs and the C-suite about software development practices and IT strategy. It's never easy to weigh complicated technical tradeoffs, organizational challenges that come with new technology, or the ongoing tension between technical and business goals, but it gets easier when you have guidance and perspective from someone who's circumnavigated the proverbial block on numerous occasions.
How I can help
I work best with companies that value sustainable engineering practices over quick fixes.
- If your team is fighting their tools instead of focusing on the product, if you're scaling beyond what your current infrastructure can support, or if you need help to harmonize your software development and operations, we should definitely talk.
- If you are building novel solutions or infrastructure and need help to design, build and deploy it, I'm here for you too.
- I'm also available for general IT strategy consultation and other services like IT roadmap development and reviews of application architecture, security & cost-efficiency.
My clients span financial services, retail, biotech, and SaaS. In research-focused organizations—particularly small molecule drug discovery—I bring considerable domain knowledge along with technical expertise in cheminformatics, molecular modelling and data management in research workflows.
