Why hire me in a fractional role
I don't just recommend technology. I build and operate it. I run a self-hosted AI infrastructure (Kubernetes, five interconnected servers, multi-model LLM routing) that automates my own business operations daily. When I advise on AI adoption, cloud architecture, or data governance, it comes from hands-on experience, not slides. 17 years across cybersecurity, federal, and Fortune 500 delivery. Carnegie Mellon MISM Alum. I bridge the gap between executive strategy and engineering execution.

  • Success story

    As technology lead for EchoLabs, a geospatial analytics startup, I built their entire technology function from zero. Designed and delivered EchoView, a web platform with interactive mapping, dashboards, and admin tools, plus hybrid cloud infrastructure and an end-to-end data pipeline that cut client delivery from weeks to under 48 hours. No existing team, no inherited stack. I scoped the architecture, wrote the code, deployed the infrastructure, and delivered directly to their clients.

Dear Employers, Members & Friends of GigX

 

First, we hope you and yours are as safe and well as possible, considering these unprecedented times.

Second, we wanted to make you aware of the new membership & pricing options so you can see what we've been working on for the community. You can find further information on our blog, as well as a variety of other helpful content.

Third, for employers and outplacement companies that are facing the necessity and consequences of layoffs and furloughs, we have solutions such as volume pricing to allow the inclusion of a GigX Membership in transition/service packages to ease the adjustment and provide access to the gig economy for those affected.

Finally, we are pleased to announce a new partnership with SoleVenture that will provide GigX Members with additional benefits, and opportunities for SoleVenture’s customers to increase their exposure.

Together we will persevere.

Stay strong!
The GigX Team
