Every block builds on the last.
Scroll through twelve years — each chapter seals into the next, the way the work actually happened.
It starts in Seattle, inside a university's entire technology estate. Eight years as a Technical Product Manager & Senior Systems Engineer, diagramming infrastructure until the inefficiencies had nowhere to hide. That diagramming became a one-year, $2.8M modernization program coordinating three vendors, Sabey, Cisco, and Juniper, alongside five teams and ten network products, with hardware procured straight through the first U.S.–China tariff war's delays and price shocks. Then the cloud: a directed migration to Azure with hybrid connectivity and redundant failover. Annual spend was halved from $250K to $125K, seven racks were consolidated to two, and deployment time was cut by 80% through Terraform and PowerShell automation. Beneath it all ran a tenant-wide security and compliance operation across Microsoft 365: threat protection tuned in Exchange Online Protection and Defender; Purview DLP policies auto-encrypting sensitive outbound mail; Sentinel catching unusual sign-ins and auto-blocking risky accounts; compromised accounts investigated and remediated from the Defender console with forced password resets and revoked sessions; and MFA rolled out to every account. And every year, the Active Directory estate faced a McKinsey security audit measured against ISO 27001, the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, and SOC 2. Every year, it passed.
2021 was deliberate sharpening. Selected as one of fifty nationally for Google Cloud's 12-week Cloud Career Jump Start fellowship — hands-on GCP with Google's own engineers, aligned to the Associate Cloud Engineer curriculum. Compute, storage, networking, IAM, and databases, practiced until cloud fluency became cloud instinct — the foundation the BTechs teaching practice stands on today.
And in the same season, product craft. Chosen as one of fifty nationally for the University of Washington's Inclusive Product Management fellowship at the Foster School — a ten-week deep dive into roadmaps, value propositions, and business cases, where selection turned into a coaching seat working with other participants. Infrastructure depth on one hand, product craft on the other — the two tracks this whole story braids together.
Then the biggest stage in financial information. Senior Technical Product Manager owning 20+ digital properties and over 1,000 pages serving more than a million monthly users across Bloomberg's Law, Tax, and Government verticals. Over 200 features shipped through distributed teams across time zones, and a 100% pass rate across six GDPR/CCPA audits, because compliance was built into the product rather than inspected at the end. New vendors, Salesforce Marketing Cloud, SalesWings, Webflow, and Asana, were brought through legal, procurement, and security review and put to work: CRM-connected lead scoring lifted sales conversions 17% year over year, email click-through rose 25%, and Bloomberg Law generated leads 2.5x faster.
Then the leap founders talk about. Co-founding the Bitcoin Innovation Hub in Kampala, Uganda — a financial-inclusion firm backed by a three-year, $300K grant from Jack Dorsey's #startsmall — run remotely from New York. The flagship: a Bitcoinized inventory and settlement product on BTCPayServer that cut transaction fees by more than 90%, putting modern asset management within reach of small businesses and refugee communities the traditional rails had priced out.
Which brings the story to now. BTechs — a New York charitable nonprofit building resilient, self-sovereign digital and financial infrastructure, and teaching security- and privacy-focused, equitable AI/ML on Google Cloud. Its flagship is the DCI Global Research Map: the public platform charting MIT DCI's worldwide Bitcoin research network, owned as Product Owner and Technical Lead from concept through production — PostgreSQL/Supabase, Vercel, GitHub CI/CD. The founder chapter isn't a detour from the enterprise track record. It's what that track record was for.
The next block is unwritten.
