About

I value thoughtful collaboration, clarity, and incremental delivery. I like turning complex integration surfaces (cloud + Microsoft 365 + AI) into cohesive product experiences with strong guardrails and measurable outcomes. This site stays minimal: semantic HTML + modern CSS + a sprinkle of JS for progressive enhancement.
