Private AI infrastructure — secure, compliant, and built for your business.

Enterprise-grade AI systems, designed for healthcare and legal organizations that can't afford to compromise.

What I Do

Three Ways I Can Help You

Private AI infrastructure, managed IT, and education for organizations that operate in high-stakes environments.

AI Infrastructure

Private AI that works — without risking your network or your data.

  • Custom LLM deployment on your existing infrastructure
  • HIPAA and compliance-aware architecture from day one
  • Private document intelligence — no third-party data exposure
  • Proof-of-concept to production, scoped for your risk tolerance

MSP Services

Full-service IT management for healthcare, legal, and professional services firms.

  • Microsoft 365 administration and security hardening
  • Network monitoring, VLAN segmentation, and firewall management
  • Incident response and recovery planning
  • Ongoing IT oversight without the full-time hire

Content & Education

Understand AI well enough to lead it — not just survive it.

  • Plain-language AI briefings for non-technical leadership
  • YouTube deep-dives and live demos on real infrastructure
  • Staff workshops on AI tools, risks, and adoption
  • Strategic consulting for managers making their first AI decision
Portfolio

What I've Built

Real systems, built for real constraints. Every project here is designed around the security and compliance needs of the clients who can't afford to get it wrong.

Private Document Intelligence

Your documents, answered instantly — without leaving your network.

A private RAG-based retrieval system for healthcare, legal, and professional services firms. Staff get instant answers from internal documents without exposing sensitive data to third-party AI services. Runs locally via Ollama. Designed for regulated industries where data sovereignty isn't optional — your documents never leave your network, ever.

An AI-assisted workflow that eliminates manual billing overhead for SMBs. Integrates with QuickBooks and other platforms to automate invoice generation, payment tracking, and reconciliation — customized to each client's process. Built to adapt to your existing accounting process — not the other way around.

About

Enterprise experience. SMB focus.

I've built and managed infrastructure at a scale most consultants have only read about. From data center construction to lift-and-shift migrations across mid-to-large enterprise environments, I've been the person responsible when things absolutely cannot go wrong.

That experience includes serving as Project Manager for the Toyota North America data center consolidation and leading the infrastructure build for TV Guide's Los Angeles data center. These aren't resume line items — they're the reason I know exactly which decisions break systems and which ones don't.

Now I apply that same rigor to small and mid-sized businesses — organizations that deserve enterprise-grade thinking without the enterprise overhead. Whether it's private AI infrastructure, managed IT, or helping leadership make their first serious technology decision, the standard doesn't change.
