Experience

Acquia is a software-as-a-service company co-founded by Dries Buytaert and Jay Batson to provide enterprise products, services, and technical support for the open-source web content management platform Drupal. 

Executionists was an award wining, design-centric, marketing and development agency with efforts across multiple market segments: financial, real estate, professional services, and eCommerce. Executionists was sold to Kensium in 2020.

As the Technical Director my role was to architect and execute on design and data structures for multiple projects simultaneously. Daily code review of development teams, systems administration [SysAdmin], development operations [DevOps], security protocols, and general maintenance all fell under the direct responsibilities of the role.

Brick House represents a meeting-of-the-minds that started in 2010 and has continued to develop and transform every day since. Our approach is based on assembling multi-disciplinary teams including market segment experts, stakeholders, data professionals, and proven technology. Over time, we have developed distributions of platforms-as-a-service that predictively accomplish 70 to 80% of the project out of the box. In the end, we deliver systems and services that take on a life of their own; and, we remain in support of those systems. 

In the role of Cloud Architect, my responsibilities included designing multiple distributions, software-as-a-solution [SaaS], and platforms-as-a-service [PaaS] that are meant to anticipate the demand for scale and retain highly focused scope documentation and delivery. 

Level Playing Field [LPF] is the industry leader at providing secure, scale-able, cloud-based Solutions for Government, Justice, and Law Enforcement professionals. All of our platforms are easily accessible in multiple languages via any internet accessible device. At the end of the day, our goal is to provide a Level Playing Field.

In my role as the CTO, I was responsible for architecting and developing enterprise level projects that leveraged technology in general and machine learning and artificial intelligence at scale.

In the role of systems technician, the responsibilities included establishing server and hardline configuration with pre and post-loaded software. System configurations and security protocols were maintained at all levels of the network including automated backups and cloud-based redundancy measures.

The Task Force on Access Through Innovation of Legal Services [ATILS] was assigned to study possible regulatory changes for enhancing the delivery of, and access to, legal services through the use of technology, including artificial intelligence and online legal service delivery models. The work of ATILS was animated by the inescapable conclusion that nearly all Californians are facing severe challenges in obtaining access to legal services for commonly encountered legal problems. 

The Alternative Dispute Resolution Section of the Washington State Bar Association promotes the informed use and best practices of alternative dispute resolution processes by: providing resources; educating members of the bar and the public; and, addressing issues relating to the growth and development of alternative dispute resolution services in the State of Washington.

An interdisciplinary degree was an opportunity to combine the required coursework for two (2) undergraduate degrees, political science and psychology, while accomplishing both in a four-year program. During undergraduate work, I was additionally able to participate in graduate level anthropology projects that have lead to the incorporation of government and justice oriented platforms.
