Building Digital Foundations

I'm a Service Operations Manager in an MSP environment, focused on operational excellence - keeping services stable, predictable, and continually improving. I build systems and processes that reduce noise, increase reliability, and make delivery repeatable.


I'm especially interested in automation and practical AI-enabled operations. A recent example: I used AI-assisted development with Python on Linux to build and package a low-licensing-cost reporting and dashboard framework with automated data refresh and a lightweight data warehouse — delivered as a professional services offering.
