I’m a strategic infrastructure consultant specializing in technology companies, biotech firms, and advanced manufacturers in Bedford, MA and the surrounding Route 128 tech corridor. I design and deploy infrastructure that scales with business growth while meeting compliance requirements and eliminating single points of failure.
If you’re looking for infrastructure that supports rapid scaling, ensures 99.9% uptime, or navigates complex compliance requirements, I can help. You can also learn more about working with me.
⚙️ Infrastructure & Architecture
- Strategic Infrastructure Planning: Architecture reviews, migration planning, and disaster recovery design that supports business growth and compliance requirements (SOC2, HIPAA, FDA).
- Crisis Recovery & Rescue: When your legacy environment is brittle or bewildering, I jump in with targeted triage and “oh god what is this” rescue engagements that get you back online.
- Infrastructure Audits: Comprehensive assessments that spotlight technical debt, resiliency gaps, and growth blockers, then deliver actionable recommendations with ROI projections.
- DevOps & Automation: CI/CD pipelines, deployment automation, and infrastructure-as-code that reduces operational overhead by 40-60%.
- Equipment & Installation Partners: Through partnerships with Tristate Low Voltage (professional cable runs, power systems) and Reolink (surveillance integration), I provide complete end-to-end infrastructure solutions.
📻 Critical Communications & Emergency Systems
- Emergency Communication Design: Two-way radio networks, LTE backup systems, and emergency communication protocols for business continuity.
- Radio System Implementation: Professional radio networks for manufacturing floors, campus environments, and critical operations teams.
- ARES/RACES Coordination: Amateur radio emergency services integration for comprehensive disaster recovery planning.
- Equipment & Training: Radio equipment procurement, installation, and staff training through Retevis dealer partnerships.
🤝 OSPO++ & Community Leadership
- Fractional OSPO Services: Part-time Open Source Program Office leadership for companies not ready for full-time OSPO staffing but need strategic open source guidance.
- Community Strategy & Governance: Design contributor onboarding, maintainer success programs, and governance models that scale with your project’s growth.
- License & Foundation Strategy: Navigate licensing decisions, foundation readiness assessments, and compliance frameworks for commercial open source initiatives.
- InnerSource Programs: Implement internal open source practices that improve code sharing, reduce duplication, and accelerate development across teams.
- Open Source Due Diligence: Technical and business assessment of open source dependencies, supply chain risk, and community health for M&A activities.
⚙️ Strategic Technology Consulting
- Technology Evaluation: When you’re evaluating new platforms or tooling, I separate hype from real value and ensure the fit aligns with business objectives.
- Team Scaling & Organization: Strategic guidance on infrastructure team growth and organizational design—without defaulting to “just hire more SREs.”
- Vendor & Contract Review: Technical due diligence for infrastructure vendor selection and contract negotiations.
- Technical Leadership Interim: Temporary technical leadership during transitions, reorganizations, or while recruiting permanent staff.
