Currently working with a joint venture between ACCUBITS & BLOCKCHAIN SAW to help a brand focused on home services in Mexico to achieve the most secure code scale possible & advise to get their MVP operational nationally. To the right people and brands, I provide boutique consulting in areas of technology solutions, corporate evolution, and business analysis. Some problems require the lenses of those not emotionally invested in specific mechanics, but focused on the positive outcomes for all as a result of honest, fact driven analysis. Key clients include: Disney Channel, Sketchers, NASA/JPL, TRW, Microsoft, FC&B, Kodak, Paramount, FOX, & Warner Brothers Studios, Verizon, Apple, Strata, Cap Cities ABC, Adobe Systems, Solar West Electric For Paramount I worked on the Star Trek Experience in Las Vegas, for Disney Channel we created dozens of micro-sites for viewers to learn and interact with favorite characters, for Sketchers I helped their team obliterate the mold on fashion ecommerce, and for Adobe helped push the PDF color profiles & mechanics along with Apple ColorSync into realms to advance digital printing to the point direct-to-press became the persistent norm (with help from 3M, CreoScitex, IBM, and Kodak). For Solar West Electric, I conducted an efficiency vs resiliency survey, and built a business transformation program complete with road maps, function to tools map, and guiding communications for leadership to help seed, politic and grow the idea they need action immediately. More recently: I developed a methodology for the derivation of previously uncorrelated data sets into a metric to build a new series of KPIs for product management program leadership at a major tech manufacturer; and helped a technology incubator adopt their model for use by a local government to accelerate service transformation.
