About

I manage and modernize CMS infrastructure — bringing 20+ years of Drupal expertise together with a growing AI toolset to work faster and smarter than a traditional dev team. Over that career I've delivered Drupal solutions for organizations including NASA, the U.S. Treasury, and UN Women, spending years translating between business stakeholders and technical teams. Now I layer AI tooling on top of that foundation — automations, workflows, and intelligent assistants that let one person do the work of a larger team.

AI Lab & Infrastructure

I run a self-hosted AI stack on a Proxmox home server — not to follow tutorials, but because deploying and operating real infrastructure is how I learn what production AI systems actually need.
