I run the IT Systems Engineering and Technology Integrations team at Verily. Twenty years of IT engineering at companies you’ve heard of; lately, building AI tools of my own.
A local, single-user harness for running a small AI company.
Markdown and git — no database, no server, no cloud. Hire agents (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, local Ollama or LM Studio models), file tickets, dispatch work, close the loop, all from the terminal. Multi-runtime by design: adding a new adapter is about thirty lines of Python.
Native macOS dictation that runs entirely on your machine.
Press a global hotkey, speak, release — your words are transcribed locally with WhisperKit and pasted into whatever app is in front of you. No cloud, no account, no upload, no telemetry. macOS 14+, Apple Silicon recommended.
Run the SETI (Systems Engineering / Technology Integrations) team. Device management, SaaS, identity ops, AI and agentic workflows. Report into the CIO.
Rebuilt the team after sustained turnover; overhauled the stack (Okta Classic → OIE, Slack → Enterprise Grid); stood up an in-IT software-development function building on Airtable itself.
Ran the help desk and most of corporate IT. Engineered a patching system that cut corporate CVEs by 60%. Supported InfoSec in rolling out Mimecast, Netskope, and CrowdStrike.
Joined as a Sr. IT Engineer (macOS endpoint), promoted to manager. Moved IT Engineering to Agile, migrated Mac management to AWS, built out the client engineering team.
Led the macOS side of IT Engineering. Tripled imaging throughput with Casper; piloted DEP and an OSQuery + ELK stack that became the basis of how Box ran IT ops and InfoSec.
Mac-systems contract work: Casper rollouts, retooled imaging, AD-based authentication.
Developed and executed field-test protocols for digital imaging systems; hands-on work with bare-bones modules from manufacturers; QA processes through JIRA and Confluence.
Strategy and tooling for Mac deployment and management worldwide; coordinated across the US, Germany, Turkey, India, China, and Australia.
Designed and deployed the server architecture behind every Apple Retail Store; tier-3 support; scaled one of the most-used Retail apps to 3× capacity and halved its support volume.
Occasional writing on systems, IT engineering, and AI tooling. Not a blog — no cadence, no archive, no RSS. Just things worth keeping around.
