Who I
Am

Fifteen years of global Cloud HCM delivery.

I'm an independent architect for Oracle Cloud HCM with 15+ years in enterprise HR transformation, including senior roles at enterprise software vendors and Big 4 consultancies.

I design HR systems that scale, integrate and perform, and I take on the hard parts: payroll, integrations, Redwood upgrades and messy cut-overs.

The newest layer is agentic AI: AI Agent Studio is already in your subscription, and most teams have never switched it on. I build agents that run inside Fusion, grounded in your policies.

Available now for implementations, architecture reviews and advisory roles.

Experience Across
Big 4 Consultancies Oracle GSI Partners Fortune 500 Enterprises

Healthcare, hospitality, retail, manufacturing, airports, education and public sector, up to $50M+ transformations.
