I've spent more than 30 years working at the intersection of software, infrastructure, business, and emerging technologies. At Clevyr, we help organizations solve difficult problems through custom software engineering, systems integration, artificial intelligence, data architecture, cybersecurity, and intelligent automation. Our work spans enterprise platforms, business-critical integrations, and the increasingly complex intersection of humans and AI agents. I'm particularly interested in what happens when AI evolves beyond individual tools into coordinated systems capable of transforming how organizations operate. I still build things. Not because I need another startup, but because experimenting is how I learn, challenge assumptions, and stay connected to the technology. My focus remains Clevyr, our clients, and building the next generation of intelligent business systems. --- ## Clevyr **Humanizing the technology experience.** Clevyr helps organizations understand, design, integrate, and operate the technology their businesses depend on. We've done it since 2009 — through early web platforms, enterprise integration, cloud, and now AI — with thoughtful engineering, sound architecture, and technology that serves people. Organizations bring us in when the problem is bigger than a single tool: systems that don't talk to each other, operations that have outgrown off-the-shelf software, data no one trusts, or an AI strategy that needs to become something real and accountable. | Capability | What it means | |------|-------| | AI Strategy & Implementation | AI roadmaps, applied AI in real workflows, agentic systems and orchestration | | Custom Software Engineering | Customer-facing platforms, internal systems, mobile applications | | Enterprise Systems Integration | APIs and integrations between business-critical systems | | Data Engineering & Intelligence | Data architecture, analytics, business intelligence, intelligent automation | | Cloud Infrastructure | Cloud architecture, DevOps, and ongoing operations | | Cybersecurity | Security practices and technology governance | | CRM & RevOps | HubSpot Diamond Solutions Partner — CRM architecture and revenue operations, with capabilities well beyond HubSpot | **Industries:** Banking & financial services · Healthcare · Energy · Logistics · Education · Pro sports · Non-profits ### Working with Clevyr I'm not seeking employment, freelance programming work, or personal consulting engagements.
