Payments & Platform Transformation Leader
I'm the person who gets Engineering, Risk, Compliance and the executive team moving in the same direction, in places where technology can't afford to fail: payments, financial data, and the federal courts.
A few results I'm proud of.

|---|---|---|

| Federal Judiciary | Modernized the courts' electronic filing systemNext Generation CM/ECF, with Avaya Government Solutions | 10+court systems migrated |
For more than 15 years, I've led the programs that modernize how money moves and how organizations use their data. My work sits between strategy and delivery: I take a business goal, turn it into a roadmap engineering teams can build, and keep everyone who has a stake in it moving together until it ships and people use it.
I started by managing the modernization of the Federal Judiciary's CM/ECF platform, the system federal courts use to manage cases and accept filings. From there I consulted for Safe-Guard Products and Elavon, spent six years at US Bank/Elavon modernizing digital payments and co-leading its enterprise Agile transformation, and today lead data, AI and platform programs at Global Payments.
The thread through all of it is regulated, high-stakes work. I bring systems thinking and analytical rigor to messy programs, I build risk and compliance into delivery from day one, and I tie every decision back to an outcome the business can measure.
Six skills I'm brought in for, and where I've put each one to work.
When a program has stalled, I reset scope, untangle dependencies and get delivery risk in front of the right people early.
At Global Payments: recovered a $10M data platform modernization and accelerated projected delivery on another by three months.
Merchant onboarding, payment gateways, e-commerce integrations and transactional platforms, moved from legacy architecture to modern cloud and data platforms.
At US Bank/Elavon and Global Payments: digital payment experiences, microservices, and migrations to GCP and Snowflake.
Security, regulatory readiness and Authority-to-Operate reviews designed into the delivery process instead of bolted on at the end.
At Global Payments: enterprise risk-review and ATO processes across 80+ people, addressing an estimated $2.5M in readiness risk.
Connecting data platforms, pipelines and AI readiness to what the business actually earns and saves.
At Global Payments: launched a Snowflake-based prediction model as a new revenue stream for Independent Sales Organizations.
Agile at scale, OKRs, intake and governance that let large organizations deliver predictably without drowning in process.
At US Bank/Elavon and Insight Global: 80% Agile maturity in nine months; forecasting accuracy up 28%.
Clear decisions and honest status for leaders, and a shared plan for everyone else, from engineers to judges.
Across my career: advisor to C-level and Board stakeholders at Global Payments; 100+ stakeholders aligned on CM/ECF.
Platforms I work across: GCP, AWS, Snowflake, Databricks, APIs and microservices, data pipelines, SAFe and Agile Release Trains.
