I've spent over two decades leading IT teams in regulated industries -- healthcare, banking, travel, energy. Building infrastructure, running security programs, getting through SOC 2 audits, integrating companies after acquisitions. The kind of work where getting it wrong has real consequences.
On nights and weekends, I've been a professional DJ since my early twenties. Over a thousand events -- weddings, corporate, clubs, everything. That side of my life created real business problems that nobody was solving well: metadata chaos across DJ software, booking pipelines held together with spreadsheets, no good tools for managing the entertainment business end-to-end.
So I started building. Not with a team or funding -- just me and AI as a force multiplier. I architect the systems, direct the implementation, review every line, and debug at the source level. Nine active projects and counting, from a 50,000-line desktop application to a personal life-ops system that texts me when I'm slacking. The IT background gives me the discipline. The DJ career gives me the problems worth solving.
