About me
Your systems are built. Your people don't trust them.
That's the problem I solve.
I advise founders, CFOs, and operators in construction, trades, and mid-market organizations on data, automation, and AI strategy. I replace fragile manual systems with reliable infrastructure that is cost-conscious, well-documented, and built to be owned by the teams responsible for it.
I also serve as Data & Automation Director at HEI Civil, a multi-state civil construction organization operating in AZ, CO, NC, and TX, where I've generated $1M+ in recurring annual ROI while eliminating 19,000+ manual hours annually.
WHAT I HELP WITH
→ Building data systems people actually trust and use
→ Designing AI governance that enables, not restricts
→ Scaling automation without increasing complexity
→ Bridging gaps between technical teams and executive leadership
→ Replacing tool sprawl with reliable, documented infrastructure

THIS IS FOR YOU IF
✓ You've built systems but your teams don't trust or use them
✓ You're scaling AI but don't have governance guardrails
✓ You can't quantify ROI from the technology you've invested in
✓ Your CFO rebuilds reports because she doesn't trust the source
✓ You're mid-market and need data/AI strategy without hiring full-time
✓ You're in construction, trades, operations, or similar capital-intensive environments
THIS ISN'T FOR YOU IF
✗ You're looking for ongoing managed services or team augmentation
✗ You need purely tactical BI work (dashboards without adoption strategy)
✗ Adoption and governance aren't priorities for you
✗ You're looking for the cheapest option, not the best outcome
ABOUT ME
I'm known for reconciling business needs with real user requirements—identifying gaps, improving workflows, and delivering results that stick. I bring director-level enterprise experience to every engagement, including 15+ years leading teams and 6+ years owning enterprise data strategy across multi-state operations.
I advise because I've lived it. I've been in the room with CFOs who didn't trust the numbers. I've seen well-designed systems fail because teams weren't brought along. I've scaled AI without governance and learned the hard way.
My work is grounded in real enterprise complexity, not theory.
Bilingual: English and Spanish.
