Technology and operations leader with more than two decades of experience strengthening infrastructure, governance, and execution for creative organizations.

My work spans AV production, post-production, games, and social — designing secure, scalable systems for studios operating under TPN, SOC 2, and enterprise-level compliance frameworks. I have led technology organizations as CTO, Head of IT, and in interim executive roles during periods of transition, growth, and operational risk.

Engagements are structured to stabilize environments, clarify ownership, and implement durable systems that outlast the engagement itself — whether through infrastructure modernization, security hardening, AI integration, or workflow optimization.

Advisory services are provided through Hive Forma LLC, focused on secure infrastructure, operational clarity, and scalable systems for modern creative teams.

Experience is only valuable if it creates clarity.

If your organization is at an inflection point — scaling, stabilizing, modernizing, or preparing for transition — the next step is usually a short conversation to understand context and constraints.
