Enterprise systems, asset management, financial technology, integration, and solution delivery
I am a senior technology professional with extensive experience solving complex business and operational problems across enterprise applications, financial systems, infrastructure, integration, data, and software delivery.
My current work focuses on IBM Maximo Application Suite and enterprise asset management in a public-sector utility environment, including mobile, GIS, reporting, integrations, testing, upgrades, and application support. Earlier in my career, I spent more than a decade leading technology for a lending business, supporting loan origination and servicing processes across application development, data, APIs, customer communications, telephony, infrastructure, security, and vendor platforms.
My background is deeply technical, but my focus is broader than software development alone: understanding how systems, business processes, users, vendors, and data fit together, then designing practical solutions that improve reliability, efficiency, and service.
My approach starts with evaluating existing tools before building anything new – then developing a custom solution, often a working prototype, when nothing else fits the problem well.
Capabilities
This section will continue to evolve as I document selected areas of expertise and recent project work.
Experience
San Francisco Public Utilities Commission, San Francisco, CA
2024 – Present
IS Programmer Analyst – Senior
Support, configure, enhance, and troubleshoot IBM Maximo Application Suite and related enterprise applications across development, test, and production environments.
- Launched a 5-user pilot of IBM Maximo Mobile Technician and Inspections in Wastewater Enterprise (in progress), with strong early interest from additional users and groups eager to adopt following full rollout.
- Supporting the transition from the legacy Informer mobile app to IBM Maximo Mobile in Wastewater Enterprise, partnering with a business-side champion driving adoption momentum; additional groups, including Sewer Contract Spot Repair (SCSR), are evaluating onboarding pending management approval.

- Developing an automation script within MAS to convert field inspection results into calculated asset condition/risk scores, reducing manual scoring effort and inconsistency between inspectors.
- Designed and built a proof-of-concept automated smoke-test suite for MAS upgrade validation, evaluating existing tools before developing a custom solution tailored to a heavily customized Maximo environment.
- Configure, enhance, and support MAS Manage 9.x, primarily for Wastewater Enterprise – the largest MAS enterprise, representing roughly one-third of users and the bulk of assets, ingested via a spatial integration from GIS – alongside additional supported sites; diagnose and resolve application and data defects across releases and upgrades.
