Advancing Field Safety with AI, IoT, and Edge Computing

Advancing Field Safety with AI, IoT, and Edge Computing
An energy leader needed real-time visibility across dispersed field operations. Manual monitoring left teams reactive to safety incidents and equipment failures.

We combined AI strategy with edge and IoT architecture to design solutions for safety alerts, asset monitoring, and maintenance forecasting over 5G networks. Computer vision detected PPE compliance, while sensors streamed equipment health data into a predictive pipeline on Amazon Kinesis for real-time analytics.

To meet strict latency and site constraints, we incorporated AWS Outposts for local compute and storage, and embedded MLOps practices for model development, monitoring, and rollout. Streaming data design, governance, and a scalable domain model anchored long-term sustainability, while change enablement prepared field teams for adoption.

With this foundation, the company moved beyond reactive responses to proactively reducing safety risks, improving asset performance, and advancing toward predictive maintenance at enterprise scale.

Accelerating Mortgage Lending Through Platform Integration

Accelerating Mortgage Lending Through Platform Integration
A national mortgage provider was slowed by fragmented tools and manual steps. Serving as interim CTO and chief architect, we applied platform strategy and solution architecture to modernize the flagship consumer application managing over 20 million properties and loan originations.

Through deep systems integration with Encompass, Salesforce, Microsoft Dynamics, Credit Karma, MLS systems, and Google/Bing Maps, we unified journeys and data. The platform runs on .NET and SQL Server with API-first microservices, Elasticsearch, and full-stack observability for scale and resilience.

Using data and analytics, we implemented A/B testing, marketing instrumentation, and conversion tracking. Program leadership aligned executives, compliance, and delivery teams around a clear plan, with disciplined execution across security, performance, and release management.

The modernization accelerated loan approvals by 20%, reduced operating costs by 25%, and gave marketing sharper insight into borrower behavior.

The Future of Tech Work Is More Hands-On
Hands-off leadership is over. The next era belongs to builders. Software is no longer just IT. It is the product, the business model, and the customer experience. Leaders who stay too far above the details risk missing the real drivers of value.
