I've spent 15+ years at the intersection of complex software platforms and the business outcomes they're supposed to drive. My work lives in the gap between what a platform can do and what customers actually need — which means I spend a lot of time in pre-sales, discovery, roadmap design, and the uncomfortable conversations that come with both.

What I do

Most recently at Amsive / Weidenhammer as a Senior Solutions Architect — led a complex three-platform enterprise migration (BigCommerce, Akeneo PIM, Celigo iPaaS) and earlier at BlueAcorn iCi where I was the SA on the Walmart × Adobe store fulfillment module: 700 tickets, 79K lines of code, 30 contributors, 36 weeks. Before that I ran ecommerce strategy at Asset Marketing Services across GovMint, NewYorkMint, and Stauer — doubling new customer counts, growing email orders 51%, and building a platform so competitive it compelled a rival acquisition.

I'm comfortable in the weeds of technical architecture and equally comfortable making the case for a platform investment at the executive level. That range is rare — and it's where I do my best work.

The AI piece

I've built production AI pipelines — structured discovery-to-delivery workflows where automated spec generation and constrained AI output collapsed the 1st Franklin Financial borrower portal build to approximately 2.5 hours of active development time. I also advise on where AI fits in product roadmaps, how to position it to skeptical buyers, and how to design pilots with measurable success criteria.

I don't lead with AI. I lead with the business problem. AI is one tool in a toolkit — sometimes the right one, often not.

Currently

On contract through Amsive (through May 2026) and open to senior SA and GPM roles — particularly in construction tech, ecommerce, or any SaaS platform where the complexity of the product is the moat. Also available for consulting engagements on a project basis.

Outside work

Based in rural central Minnesota. I like to build things — software, concrete, outdoor spaces. I think clearly when my hands are busy.
