Twenty-five years turning data into products the world actually uses.
At Microsoft I helped drive Bing's search share from under 10% to over 30%, then served as lead data scientist to the CSO and CFO — the consumer data lake and first executive Power BI dashboards behind the 2014 transformation. I shipped AI across Office: Word to 150M+ users, PowerPoint Designer, Word Editor, LinkedIn Resume Assistant — now in Copilot.
As Sr. Director, Data at Transaction Network Services I led R&D, data engineering, and machine learning for America's largest telecoms. MLOps doubled voice-spam capture in under a year and saved consumers and businesses millions lost to fraud.
Recruited in 2022 to Navigate360 (31,000 school districts). I turned around a failing warehouse, stood up Databricks lakehouse and ML, and shipped a FERPA-compliant suite with a 360° view of safety, threats, and student behavior. That year we moved to Tampa Bay — same chair, now for Florida businesses.
A 2,000-branch bank. Global operations at Expedia. Bing and Office at Microsoft. Voice-spam defense at TNS. School safety at Navigate360. DataMind is the practice that puts that chair to work in Tampa Bay.

Every effort ties to an objective and a key result. If it doesn't move a number that matters, we don't build it.
Whether I'm hired as a 'fractional CTO' or 'strategic mercenary', I work embedded with your team, writing code, and shipping in weeks — not advising from a distance with slideware.
AI amplifies people; it does not replace them. The goal is more human impact, not less.
Uncluttered thinking, uncluttered systems. Simplicity is a competitive advantage. "Delete requirements without an identifiable source" (Elon Musk)
Incremental, durable improvements that stack rapidly using simple, systematic, experiment-led Devops processes — not big-bang projects that over-promise and stall.
I'll tell you plainly whether DataMind is right for you. The relationship matters more than the engagement.
