Solutions architect who builds infrastructure that holds under real load.
Twenty-eight years of systems administration, DevOps, full-stack engineering, and IT leadership. I design platforms that survive the bad Tuesday, and automate the toil that eats an engineering team's week.
// What I do
Two disciplines, twenty-eight years deep
Infrastructure, DevOps & AI Engineering
The platforms everything else sits on: AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, the pipelines that ship to them, and the monitoring that tells you the truth at three in the morning. Uptime first, then everything else.
Infrastructure & DevOps skills →02Software Development
JavaScript, Python, TypeScript, PHP, React, Django, Laravel. Internal tooling, integrations, and the scripts that retire a recurring manual step for good. Code the next person can read.

What people say after working with me
John Vicars
IT Manager @ XTIVIA
“I had the pleasure of working with James for over a year, and he quickly became one of the most dependable members of our team. James possesses a rare breadth of knowledge that allowed him to contribute to diverse projects, often providing the exact 'missing piece' we needed to succeed. When our department faced significant organizational changes and a mounting workload, James didn't blink. He consistently took the bull by the horns, taking full ownership of his responsibilities and introducing innovative ideas that streamlined our processes. He is a proactive problem-solver and a true asset to any organization looking for a high-impact contributor.”
Jason Goldstein
Sr. Project Manager @ Robert Half
“I have worked with James and his firm in the past, I cannot say enough how positive the experience has been! James is committed and consistent. The work produced by his firm is top notch!”
Michael Gunstanson
CEO @ Planet Parks
“I have worked with James for many years. He is one of the most knowledgeable people I have ever worked with. If I were starting a website he would be the first person I would hire. His work ethic and attention to detail are second to none. If you have a chance to hire him and you don't you will regret it.”
// Let's talk
You have ideas.
I have IT solutions.
Fifteen minutes on Zoom is usually enough to tell whether I'm the right person for what you're building.
