Jacksonville, Florida, United States
With 20+ years of experience in IT, I specialize in designing, leading, and delivering complex technology projects that help businesses operate more securely, efficiently, and at scale. As a Lead Project Engineer at iVenture, I bridge the gap between technical execution and business outcomes — ensuring that projects are not only completed, but completed with measurable impact. I thrive on solving tough challenges, whether it’s implementing enterprise-wide infrastructure upgrades, guiding cloud migrations, or optimizing networks for performance and security. My approach is hands-on, collaborative, and outcome-driven, with a focus on reliability and innovation. Outside of work, I’m a lifelong tinkerer who loves learning how things work, from fixing electronics to exploring new technologies. When I step away from the desk, you’ll find me hiking, biking, or in the garden.
