About me

I am a Solutions Architect based in the Chicago area with deep specialization in Adobe Experience Manager across Sites, Assets, and AEM as a Cloud Service. My work focuses on the problems that sit at the intersection of platform governance, content supply chain strategy, and the organizational decisions that determine whether enterprise systems actually get adopted.

At International Motors, I lead solutions architecture for enterprise asset and content management. In practice, that means translating complex technical constraints into frameworks that business stakeholders can own and engineering teams can execute. Access design, DAM governance, metadata architecture, deployment patterns that keep AEMaaCS environments maintainable as they scale. I build the scaffolding that makes the solutions last.

Through FullerMotion, I work with enterprise teams on AEM implementations, content operations strategy, and platform modernization. Past work includes Algolia integrations that drove measurable conversion lift, Adobe Analytics and Target implementations tied to real business outcomes, and re-architecture of legacy systems in Next.js and React.

Outside of work, I am most alive when I am making something or going somewhere. I shoot photography, pilot drones, and build with a 3D printer. I travel whenever I can and drag the camera along. Most importantly, I am grounded by my family and an active faith community. Those things are not separate from the work. They are what the work is for.
