WHO I AM
I build enterprise knowledge systems that make information findable, governable, and ready for whatever comes next.
With 25 years inside financial services, legal, and regulated enterprise environments, I specialize in the structural work that determines whether knowledge infrastructure holds up under scale, compliance scrutiny, and organizational change. I come into environments where content is fragmented, ungoverned, or living in the wrong places and build systems that last. I manage the projects that bring them across the finish line. And I edit the content that lives inside them with a level of precision most knowledge architects hand off to someone else.
I don’t wait for the training. I build the thing and learn what I need to learn to build it right.
Available for full-time remote roles and select consulting engagements.
