Keeping Business-Critical
Systems Running and Improving

I'm a technology operations and program leader with 20+ years owning the day-to-day health of enterprise systems — intake and triage, vendor and release management, reporting and data quality — and leading the automation and AI programs that modernize them. Currently a Director at Amdocs leading 70+ people across four teams.

Developer by Day. Rancher by Night.

I spend most of my time on the unglamorous half of enterprise technology: making sure the systems a business actually runs on stay up, stay accurate, and keep getting better. That means owning intake and prioritization, translating messy business problems into scoped requirements and test plans, holding vendors to their commitments, and giving executives a straight answer about risk and trade-offs.

The other half is the fun part — modernization. I've led an enterprise data platform migration from Palantir to Databricks, architected a robotic process automation platform that took manual workflows off people's desks, and directed a production multi-agent GenAI system built on LangGraph and RAG. I came up through engineering, so I can still read the code and ask the uncomfortable question in a design review.

Outside of tech, I've been married 28 years to my high school sweetheart. I'm a proud father of three — Connor, Dawson, and Faith — and my wife and I have two beautiful granddaughters as well. We saved for years and bought a cattle ranch in northeastern Collin County, Texas. When things get stressful, there's nothing better than time with family and the cows. I also play guitar, drums, and collect coins.

📊 What I'm Known For

Being the person business users escalate to when a report is wrong, a workflow breaks, or a vendor ticket has been sitting too long — and the person who then fixes the process so it doesn't happen again.

Programs I've Led

Four initiatives that show the range — platform migration, process automation, applied AI, and the reporting systems businesses make decisions on.

Platform Migration

Palantir → Databricks

Program lead for a multinational rail operator's enterprise data platform migration, coordinating vendors, data engineering, and business users across a geographically distributed, asset-heavy operating environment.

Databricks Azure GCP React Node.js
Applied AI

Multi-Agent Workflow Automation

Directed a hands-on GenAI initiative building a Python multi-agent system on LangGraph with retrieval-augmented generation to automate manual enterprise workflows — defining use cases, data requirements, validation methods, and the adoption plan.

LangGraph RAG Python LLMs
Process Automation

Bot Marketplace (RPA)

Architect and delivery lead for an enterprise robotic process automation platform on Azure, taking high-volume manual business workflows off people's desks. Owned requirements, acceptance criteria, security controls, and rollout.

RPA Azure ASP.NET SQL Server
Reporting & BI
