The "Perfect Learning Opportunity"
When Dell assigned me to a $2M contract about to be canceled due
to poor performance, management said it was the perfect place to
learn because "I couldn't make it any worse." Instead of accepting
failure, I saw an opportunity to understand what wasn't working
and build something better. That "failed" contract became a $10M
success story, eventually generating almost $100M in additional
client sales.
From Stalled to Soaring
A major healthcare network's $10M digital transformation had been
stalled for six months with zero production releases. While others
saw an expensive failure, I saw a team that needed direction and a
process that needed refinement. Within 60 days, we delivered the
first production releases and transformed a 30-person effort into
a high-performing agile success story.
Innovation Through Adversity
Transformed a setback into innovation by developing an
enterprise-grade AI application platform for talent optimization.
Beyond just using AI, I pioneered a multi-agent architecture with
specialized reasoning engines, semantic knowledge retrieval across
multiple codebases, and innovative memory protocols that overcome
inherent AI limitations. This system demonstrates my approach to
challenges: seeing beyond the immediate problem to create
solutions that fundamentally change how work gets done.
