Leadership experience.
Engineering management.
Within three years of graduating from college, our founder progressed from an entry-level engineering role to simultaneously managing three engineering divisions. He focused on efficient processes, project management, rapid response, team coordination and motivation, quality, and design accuracy—combining flexibility with creative problem-solving.
IT operations turnaround.
In an internal leadership role, our founder led a three-year turnaround of fragmented IT operations. The work included establishing an organized asset inventory, refreshing computers around departmental needs, replacing network infrastructure, transitioning to a new managed service provider, and implementing Microsoft 365 and SharePoint. Modern security practices, including stronger access controls and multifactor authentication, were introduced alongside these changes, creating a more organized foundation for managing technology across multiple buildings.
