Hello! I'm

Currently Vice President of Marketing Technology for Javelin Agency with over 20 years of experience in software development, capacity planning, data warehousing, and application architecture. I have built and lead global teams, developed sustainable solutions, manage enterprise scale data environments, and built marketing data and technology solutions for the most impactful clients in the world such as AT&T, Verizon, Dell, and Capital One.

Hello! Welcome to my little piece of the internet.

I'm a technical enthuist, thought leader, and innovator located in the Dallas Fort Worth Texas area.

I have spent a career building tools, change processes, and implementing new systems, all of which are part of the fundamental workflow of an organization. At Javelin I work with new business teams to concept, proof, and pitch solutions to solve client challenges resulting in a yearly average of $6.6 mm revenue. Working at Verizon and Dell my team and I mapped out processes from simple employee creation to tracking system environment changes. The result was a clearly documented MACD procedural document satisfying ITIL requirements. At Javelin, as Product Owner for a campaign marketing suite I worked with stakeholders, user groups, and developers to bring constant improvement to the platform. These improvements reduced manual steps saving 50% of a combined FTE, reduced capital costs for our client, and improved reporting turnaround times. I am constantly working with my teams to establish clear lines of communication with clients, customers, and company employees. I’m always working to ensure the right tools are in place to let people function efficiently within an organization. At Javelin I was able to deconstruct data processing workflows, document them, and implement improvements resulting in a 50% processing speed increase in which results were available for analysis for the client daily instead of weekly. I am is continually searching for new ways to improve a company’s performance by ensuring the right technology is in place every step of the way.

What i offer?

Technology Strategy

Leaders must be able to make strategic decisions with long-term goals in mind. I am constantly appraising the needs of clients and our current technology platforms to ensure the two will have a successful long term relationship all the while making sure the platform stays up-to-date with modern, proven, trends.

Technology Managment

I am no stranger when it comes to optimizing resources, managing staff, and evaluating current processes and making improvements. At Javelin I was able to cut infrastructure costs by 80% by leading design and architecture discussions, modernizing their platform by migrating to Azure.

Software Architecture

Every project I start with an architecture design that can solve the current opportunity and support anticipated needs. Short and long term costs are considerations so we don't pick the cheapest solution today that may be inflexible in the future, requiring a re-platforming.

Data Architecture

I’ve built warehouses (data lakes), ETL processes, and algorithms to analyze and associate dissimilar data, saving the company an average of $60k annually. With one client, I was key in automating laborious tasks, reducing monthly costs by 60%.

Leadership and Mentoring

Mentoring isn’t just about coffee, idle chat, and a few bits of advice. I believe in "servant-leadership" which means I am trying to help my team unblock things such as help with code, training, resourcing, or getting buy in from somewhere else in the organization.

Innovation

At Javelin I work with new business teams to concept, proof, and pitch solutions to solve client challenges resulting in a yearly average of $6.6 mm revenue.

My Skillset

I've spent 20+ years continually refining my skills.

I have a career based on making sure hardware and software architecture is built to solve the challenges of today and of the future. Every project I start with an architecture design that can solve the current opportunity and support anticipated needs. Short and long term costs are considerations so we don't pick the cheapest solution today that may be inflexible in the future, requiring a re-platforming. We also don't want to have analysis paralysis, so I time-box these architectural design discussions and decisions so we don't lose time on development. We then revisit architecture every six months or when necessary and make adjustments as needed. At Capital One and Verizon I was key in helping evaluate and ultimately recommend several cost savings software packages and storage platforms. I’ve also spent a considerable amount of time as a capacity planner working with closed architecture, virtual environments, and cloud technologies which helped me understand core platform functions such as scalability, reusability, networking, and security.
