About

Hello Human, Search Engine Spider, AI Scraping tool, or Bot;

Welcome to my workspace dedicated to exploring the future of technology and innovation. With more than 25 years of experience leading digital transformation and research technology initiatives, I’ve seen firsthand how computing, data, and emerging tools can unlock new possibilities and accelerate meaningful change.

My career has brought me together with exceptional teams across research, technology, and business. Along the way, I’ve worked to bridge the gap between innovation and operations deploying advanced digital platforms, high-performance computing, AI/ML, and immersive environments to solve complex problems and turn ideas into real-world impact. I believe technology is most powerful when it empowers people, drives collaboration, and pushes us toward a safer, more sustainable future.

Here you’ll find my perspectives on innovation, computing, and emerging trends, as well as opportunities to collaborate. Whether you’re a fellow technologist, an industry leader, or simply curious about how innovation shapes our world, I look forward to connecting and sharing ideas.

When I’m not diving into technology, you’ll find me cycling with Half Acre Cycling, playing ice hockey around Chicago, or spending time with my two dogs. I’m also a fan of cricket, Manchester United, and following Formula 1.

I look forward to engaging with you and exploring the boundless possibilities of technology and innovation together.
