Executive Profile — The Story Behind the Systems

Some leaders arrive through prestige.
Others arrive through survival.

I entered technology on the ground floor: fixing computers in underfunded schools, documenting broken systems, learning—up close—how much damage a bad workflow or a single misconfigured system can cause. I wasn't groomed for leadership. I earned it one failure mode at a time.

From those early field operations, I developed a trait that has shaped my entire career: I don't accept chaos as "the way things are." I build structures that eliminate it.

Fast forward 15 years.

I now architect AI governance frameworks for a Fortune 50 company, manage multimillion-dollar AI portfolios, deploy systems used by millions, and design compliance architectures that withstand legal, operational, and engineering scrutiny. I built a governance platform (HAIEC) from scratch—quietly adopted in enterprise settings—and authored five patent-pending frameworks in drift detection, audit automation, and real-time AI enforcement.

I bridge the world between AI ambition and organizational reality.

Most people see growing regulatory pressure as a blocker.
I see it as a blueprint.

Where others ship models, I ship systems that protect organizations from the failure modes they didn't even know existed.

This is why teams trust me to lead the programs that matter.

Signature Value

I protect organizations from invisible risks before they become front-page news.

My frameworks predict drift, detect sabotage paths, expose hidden compliance debt, and create governance structures that scale across dozens of teams.

I've done this inside Fortune 50 engineering orgs, in high-stake product ecosystems, and in global deployments with legal, engineering, security, and PMO all watching closely.

The Career (Told Clearly)

HP INC. (FORTUNE 50) — Senior Program Manager, AI Implementation & Governance

2023–Present

At HP, I'm responsible for something simple in description, brutal in execution:
Make AI safe, compliant, scalable, and reliable across 53 global applications.

My work includes:

• Orchestrating enterprise-wide AI rollouts with 100+ stakeholders

• Managing a combined $50M+ AI portfolio

• Developing five patent-pending compliance and drift frameworks

• Reducing audit preparation from months to weeks

• Leading TPMs across Education, Manageability, and Conferencing ecosystems

• Setting strategy for AI governance during regulatory uncertainty

I operate at a quiet but critical tier: where engineering meets legal, meets risk, meets executive expectation.

HAIEC — Founder & Chief Architect

2020–Present

HAIEC is not a startup story.
It's a systems story.

I built HAIEC because AI governance was becoming chaos across the industry—scattered standards, inconsistent documentation, no visibility into drift, no shared accountability.

HAIEC introduced:

• CSM6™: A governance model for enterprise AI delivery

• Red Audit Kit™: A forensic toolkit for compliance blind spots

• LegacyShift™: Modernization pathways for legacy systems used by global teams

• Frameworks that reduced compliance prep by 60%

This platform is used by enterprise teams to turn regulatory pressure into operational maturity.

Earlier Technical Roles (Condensed but Relevant)

• ACTIVE Network – System Engineer II: Release automation, QA, incident workflows

• Cummins (via TCS) – System Analyst: $10M MES implementation, 400+ stations deployed

• Centaurus – Business Systems Analyst: Red Hat & AWS platform delivery

• Louisiana Tech – IP Strategist: IP valuation & commercialization

• Dallas ISD – Field Ops Lead: Government contractor; tech modernization initiative

Each of these roles taught me something different: scale, reliability, risk, ambiguity, and how to lead people through all of it.

What Makes Me Different

1. I See Failure Modes Before They Emerge

Years of drift detection, RCA, and governance work have trained me to anticipate what most teams discover only after outages or audit failures.

2. I Design Frameworks That Survive Contact With Real Organizations

Compliance is useless if engineers won't follow it.
Engineering is dangerous if compliance can't see it.
My systems bridge both worlds.

3. I Make Ambiguity Executable

When teams don't know how to proceed, I create structures that turn confusion into predictable delivery.

4. I've Operated at Every Altitude

From field technician → system engineer → program manager → founder → enterprise AI strategist.
I understand every layer of the stack, technical and human.

The Personal Note (Why This Work Matters to Me)

I grew up navigating systems that weren't designed for people like me.

So I became someone who designs better systems.

Not just faster or smarter—safer, fairer, more accountable.

AI will shape the next century. My mission is to ensure it does so without repeating the failures of the last one: hidden bias, silent drift, ungoverned decisions, and operational fragility.

Everything I build—frameworks, programs, platforms, patents—follows one philosophy:

If a system can harm people, it must be governed as seriously as it is engineered.

This isn't just my work.
It's my discipline.
