About Me

25+ year IT Architect and Creative

I'm a family man, Beagle Dad, and IT geek with Microsoft digital workplace subject matter expertise. I enjoy writing, video games, the NY Giants and Knicks, and metaphysical philosophy. I take my work seriously, but not myself seriously.

What I Do

Twenty-five years across regulated global enterprises — pharma, reinsurance, and financial services. Deep expertise in the Microsoft stack, currently focused on hands-on AI digital workplace solutions.

  • Microsoft 365 & digital workplace
  • Identity & Zero Trust
  • Copilot & AI agents
  • Power Platform, C# & Scripting
  • Tenant migration & consolidation
  • Governance & regulated environments

My Portfolio

Most of what an architect builds lives behind someone else's firewall or is under an NDA. These are the pieces I can actually show you — designed, built and shipped myself, end to end.

Enterprise Applications

Designing, delivering and governing business applications on the Microsoft stack — SharePoint, Teams and Power Platform solutions, workflow and forms modernization, and the identity and data integration that ties them together, built for regulated global enterprises.
