Infrastructure nobody has to think about.

Accountable for strategy, budget, vendors, and execution across every system the company ran — as the only technology leader in the building.

• Architected and built a new network from the ground up: fiber between buildings, a new server room and rack, switching, firewall, and full internal infrastructure.
• Led a complete modernization — vSphere across three ESXi hosts, ERP stand-up, and an Active Directory redesign from scratch.
• Executed two enterprise email migrations with zero business disruption (Exchange → Microsoft 365, then tenant-to-tenant).
• Owned IT budget planning and forecasting, balancing capital investment against operational need.

Architected Omnissa Horizon environments for distributed workforces where downtime directly stops the business — and replaced the hand-built parts of them.

• Standardized the gold-image pipeline into a scripted, repeatable recompose workflow, so failures stopped being a weekly firefight with a different root cause each time.
• Automated image lifecycle and agent patching via PowerCLI and REST APIs, replacing a manual per-image process.
• Designed Horizon 8 with App Volumes 4.x and DEM for elastic scaling across a distributed workforce.
• Integrated Entra ID, Intune, and Duo MFA for zero-trust access and hybrid identity compliance.

A portfolio of production-minded AI platform software — the same automation instinct, applied to agents. Seventy-nine repositories, code-verified.

• PacketADE — a Tauri v2 desktop agent development environment unifying seven coding-agent providers behind one event contract, with a symlink-jailed tool runtime. My daily driver.
• PacketAgent — a self-hosted runtime for autonomous workers: checkpointed, budget-capped, network-isolated, with effect receipts so a retry never fires twice. 1,642 tests.
• packetcode — a single-binary Go coding agent with hand-rolled provider clients, an allow/ask/deny permission engine, and git-worktree isolation.
• Vellum — selected for Anthropic's Built with Opus 4.7 program: one of 500 invited from over 20,000 applicants.

Built and ran an independent consulting practice serving SMB clients end to end — sales, scoping, delivery, and the client relationship.

• Generated $375K+ in revenue over the life of the practice.
• Delivered IT strategy, licensing consultation, disaster-recovery planning, and infrastructure modernization for organizations without internal IT leadership.
• Built repeatable automation templates for imaging, deployment, and backup verification — reducing delivery time and cost on every engagement.

Founded and ran a two-division business — IT consulting plus a brick-and-mortar repair operation — years before "founder" was a résumé keyword.

• Managed staff, service contracts, and SLAs across both divisions.
• Ran infrastructure rollouts for 20+ small-business clients.
• Seven years of direct P&L ownership — the business judgment behind every technology decision since.
