Professional Summary
Architecture experience shaped by technology leadership
My career spans architectural design and production, CAD and BIM management, design technology leadership, consulting, training, and AI enablement. That range gives me a practical view of technology: tools matter, but lasting improvement depends on standards, governance, communication, implementation planning, and the confidence of the people expected to use them.
As a Technology Consultant at ARKANCE, I work with AECO clients to evaluate workflows, develop BIM and CAD standards, improve Revit and cloud-collaboration practices, plan technology implementations, and build training and support strategies. I also help organizations think responsibly about AI-assisted workflows and the leadership required to introduce change without losing sight of people, purpose, or quality.

A Broader View
Technology is part of the work, not the whole of it
My professional work and personal writing meet around the same conviction: tools, systems, leadership, and decisions should serve people with clarity, responsibility, and purpose. The technical questions matter, but so do the human questions underneath them.
