Boston, Massachusetts, United States
Field CTO at Six Feet Up, a Python and AI consultancy helping organizations build production-grade AI systems that actually deliver. I focus on pre-sales technical advisory, solution scoping, and helping clients bridge the gap between AI hype and practical implementation. My background is infrastructure and cloud architecture — datacenter operations, enterprise DevOps, HashiCorp ecosystem, AWS at scale — and I've spent the last few years moving that systems thinking into AI/ML architecture, LLM application patterns, and agentic AI tooling. That combination lets me speak credibly to both the technical team and the executive sponsor in the same conversation. Outside of client work, I've been hosting vBrownBag for over 10 years — a technical education YouTube channel with 2,700+ episodes covering cloud, DevOps, AI/ML, and infrastructure. Producing weekly content keeps me honest about what practitioners actually need to know. I hold AWS Hero status and have been recognized by the community for contributions spanning user groups, conference speaking, and technical education. You can find more of my work at mistwire.com.
