28 years building production systems for enterprise clients — now applying that foundation to AI-integrated platforms that actually work the way businesses need them to.
Available for select client engagements.
About
I've been building systems that businesses depend on since 1997. What started as rebuilding a broken manual process into a proper database and intranet became a career defined by one consistent pattern — walk into a broken process, understand how people actually work, and build something better.
That early work led to enterprise DBA roles, regional consulting, and over two decades of production systems across industries that couldn't afford mistakes.
I build end to end. Database architecture, backend systems, frontend interfaces, data pipelines, payment integration, AI integration — not as separate skills but as one connected discipline. Systems that actually work in production require someone who understands all of it.
My current focus is Folio, a multi-entity financial platform under Sewell Labs, alongside select client engagements where that depth of experience is the difference between a system that works and one that doesn't.

Selected Projects
Folio: Multi-Entity Financial Platform
The Problem
Managing finances across multiple entities — personal accounts, business operations, investments, loans — typically requires separate tools that don't talk to each other. For individuals and small enterprises operating across both personal and business contexts, nothing on the market handled the full picture under one roof.
What I Built
Folio is a multi-entity financial platform built under Sewell Labs that supports both personal and enterprise workspaces under a single user account. The personal workspace handles transaction tracking, loan amortization, bank imports, and receipt processing through a custom transaction engine that validates, deduplicates, applies rules, and routes low-confidence items to a review queue. The enterprise workspace handles multi-entity accounting with full journal entry support. Both workspaces share a unified account architecture while maintaining complete data separation.
What It Demonstrates
Product architecture at the system level — data modeling, workflow design, AI integration, and the kind of business logic that only comes from understanding how financial operations actually work, not just how to write code.
RV Dealership Management System
The Problem
A multi-location RV dealership was running on disconnected manual processes — sales staff tracking customer interactions on paper, finance operating inefficiently, parts managed separately with no unified system. Three locations, roughly 50 staff, no single source of truth.
What I Built
A complete dealership management platform built from the ground up after spending time with each department understanding how they actually worked. The internal system handled sales CRM with call sheets and interaction history, a rebuilt finance workflow with complex contract generation printed directly from system data, and a parts department POS system. Alongside the internal platform, a public-facing inventory website pulled live data from the same system — allowing sales staff to photograph units and publish them directly to the site.
The Result
The public inventory site reached Alexa top 1,000 ranking — meaning significant measurable traffic at a time when that metric carried real weight. The dealership ran on this system across all three locations for the duration of my involvement.
What It Demonstrates
End-to-end thinking — internal operations and public-facing product unified by the same data layer. Requirements gathering across departments and roles before a single line of code was written.
Adult Education Management System
The Problem
An adult education department managing multiple programs — ABE, GED, and college-level coursework — had no unified system to track attendance, enrollment, student progress, or degree requirements.
What I Built
A full department management platform handling all programs under one roof. The system tracked attendance and enrollment, and followed each student's college credit accumulation against their specific degree track — surfacing exactly what requirements remained at any point. Role-based login ensured staff accessed only what their position required. Printable reports handled administrative needs without manual assembly.
What It Demonstrates
Institutional software built for real operational dependency — not a demo, not a prototype. Real staff, real students, real compliance requirements. The kind of system where accuracy isn't optional.
ERP Software Modification Tracking System
The Problem
A large pharmaceutical company implementing an enterprise ERP system had no reliable way to track software modifications, bugs, and issues across the project. A massive spreadsheet was being maintained manually and printed weekly for a steering committee — tedious, error-prone, and impossible to filter or query meaningfully.
What I Built
The spreadsheet was a symptom of a process that needed a real solution. Importing the data into a proper database with form-based entry eliminated the manual maintenance problem entirely. An intranet site gave the steering committee direct access — filtering, viewing, and inputting their own issues without waiting for a weekly printout. A broken weekly ritual became a live system everyone could use independently.
What It Demonstrates
The instinct that has defined my career — recognizing when a process needs to be rebuilt, not just maintained, and knowing how to do it.
Fantasy Sports Portal
The Problem
Commercial fantasy sports platforms don't work for every group or environment. Some communities need something self-contained, fully controlled, and built specifically for how they operate.
What I Built
A full fantasy sports portal built from scratch, handling league management, real-time scoring, trades, and in-platform chat. To feed the scoring system, I built a custom data mining pipeline that automatically pulled and normalized current player statistics, keeping the platform accurate without manual updates. The entire system ran on available hardware, serving an active user base across multiple seasons.
What It Demonstrates
Consumer-facing product thinking alongside backend data engineering — not just a user interface but a full system with automated data acquisition feeding it. Built resourcefully under real constraints with no room for shortcuts.
Experience
Career Highlights
Managed Oracle database environments for a pharmaceutical company running FDA-regulated data. Worked directly alongside Big Six accounting firms and enterprise ERP consultants in a production environment where data integrity was non-negotiable.
Recruited directly by BaaN to lead database operations across their Western America consulting practice. Managed enterprise ERP database environments, provided rapid-response troubleshooting across approximately 20 client accounts, and mentored a team of 15 IT consultants. Primary clients included Fortune 500 manufacturers and aerospace companies.
Provided remote management services for customer web infrastructure — monitoring and maintaining web servers, databases, and custom processes to ensure continuous uptime. Served as the bridge between sales and potential clients, translating technical capabilities into business value and coordinating internally to ensure delivery matched what was promised.
Brought in to replace a failing FoxPro system that had hit its limits. Worked directly alongside VB developers building the replacement — designing and implementing stored procedures that powered the new system and building out role-based security architecture. Managed the Microsoft SQL Server infrastructure underpinning consumer auto loan operations in a financial services environment where data integrity and uptime were non-negotiable.
Currently a pioneer candidate for Langston's inaugural Master's program — the first of its kind at the university.
