Founded Technomancy IT as a freelance engineering practice that grew into a small technical shop. Earned Upwork's Top Rated badge and ranked among its top 10% of freelancers before building a referral-based client base across crypto, security, web applications, and SaaS. Usually served as the only engineer or lead engineer, owning discovery, architecture, product development, infrastructure, security, deployment, and ongoing operations. Implemented OAuth/OIDC extensively in application and API authentication flows, including PKCE and token exchange. Built selected enterprise-facing identity capabilities into Technomancy.IT and client products, including SAML/SCIM integrations, AWS IAM and Microsoft Entra ID implementation work, workload identities, secrets, and tenant-aware access controls, with the depth centered on product implementation and integration. Helped teams ship products and fundraising systems used in raises totaling millions of dollars; built and managed smart contracts and on-chain systems that held millions in value. Delivered client work across React, Vue, Next.js, TypeScript, Node.js, PostgreSQL, Redis, Docker, Kubernetes, and cloud and on-prem infrastructure. Also managed Excell Services' complete IT function, modernized its network and recovery systems for roughly 30 employees, and built Blade Construction's ticketing and CRM workflow. Now evolving the practice toward a collaborative model that brings in strong specialists when the work benefits from more than one engineer.

Led end-to-end technical readiness and infrastructure remediation for annual SOC 1 and SOC 2 audits under SSAE 18 at a 30,000-square-foot commercial data center in Fort Collins serving enterprise clients, maintaining compliance. Served as the primary technical point of contact for external auditors, translating infrastructure architecture, access controls, and failover protocols into audit artifacts. Owned disaster recovery and backup verification protocols, including automated testing schedules, and drafted and enforced engineering SOPs aligned with audit control objectives; the organization passed every year I led the process. Led the NOC team and served as the primary on-call engineer for escalations, designing and managing monitoring systems for datacenter and client operations. Served as the senior systems engineer and datacenter architect, modernizing workloads from hardware-centric virtualization to reproducible Docker, Docker Swarm, and Kubernetes platforms. Migrated legacy monitoring from Nagios to Zabbix through a multi-step cutover that included a severely unhealthy legacy database environment costing roughly $10,000 per month in AWS charges. Codified infrastructure and deployment workflows with Terraform, Ansible, and CI/CD; led capacity planning, recovery, client migrations, runtime operations, and incident response.

Operated networks and managed IT for a portfolio of SMB clients, combining remote monitoring, incident response, endpoint and network troubleshooting, and repeatable automation. Built diagnostic and support tooling that shortened the path from alert to resolution while communicating directly with business owners and end users.
