ENTERPRISE TECHNOLOGY LEADERSHIP

Deputy Assistant IT Director / Tier 3 & Software Distribution Manager

I lead Tier 3 and Software Distribution for Indiana state government. I set technical direction, build the operating plan, and keep difficult work moving across teams.

LEADERSHIP

I've owned the outcome

PRODUCT THINKING

Built for real work

MissionBoard started with an operating problem I had: too much important work spread across too many views.

MissionBoard portfolio overview dashboard

Leadership system

MissionBoard

One working view for projects, escalations, owners, blockers, and the next decision.

Problem
Active work and ownership were spread across too many places.
Built
A single operating view that makes status, owners, and blockers visible.
Changed
I can see what is stuck and who can move it without rebuilding the picture by hand.

AFTER HOURS

Things I keep building

The smaller experiments still matter. They are where I test an idea before it has a committee.

Home / Automation

HomeOS

I wanted a wall dashboard without another subscription, so I built one. It runs on a Raspberry Pi and handles Home Assistant scenes, camera feeds, and a focus mode. I use it every day.

Let's talk

I'm open to conversations about broader technology leadership: setting direction, owning a budget, building teams, and turning difficult operating problems into systems that last.
