Head of IT & Technology
I build the technology
that keeps plants running.
At a specialty chemicals manufacturer in New England, I took an empty seat labeled “IT specialist” and turned it into the company’s technology function — infrastructure, deployment, cybersecurity, physical security, and the custom software that holds it all together.

What I work on
Platform & Infrastructure
Proxmox clusters, Linux servers, databases, IaC with Ansible + Terraform, self-hosted everything. The stack plants actually run on.
Deployment & Automation
CI/CD pipelines, container workflows, scripted provisioning, document automation. Removing the parts of IT nobody should be doing by hand.
Physical Security
UniFi Access & Protect, badge systems, camera networks, door/gate/fire-alarm integrations. IT and building systems on one pane of glass.
Offensive Security
CTFs, purple-team exercises, physical and digital penetration testing, hardware/RF research, DEFCON attendee. Security posture designed by someone who routinely tries to break it.
Featured case studies
All studies →Custom App · Safety / Compliance
Management of Change — PSM-grade change control for a chemical plant
A full-stack MOC system for a nylon manufacturing site: 5×5 risk matrix, three-discipline approvals, pre-startup safety reviews, and an immutable audit trail. Replaces a five-figure-a-year commercial EHS platform.
AI / ERP
Putting an AI analyst in front of IQMS/Oracle ERP data
Built a Model Context Protocol server exposing read-only IQMS and dataPARC data to Claude. Plant questions answered in seconds, against live production data.
Platform · Architecture
One front door — a portal that turns internal apps into modules
Instead of a sprawl of standalone web apps, one SSO portal: a single login, per-user access tiles, an aggregated task feed, and an architectural rule that every new system ships as a module inside it.
