Principal Architect

Bedrock Information Systems LLC | January 2019 – Present

Role Summary

Principal architecture and delivery leadership across municipal, regulated, and managed-service environments. This role is the clearest evidence for contract, project, and advisory work: security maturity, CJIS and NIST alignment, AI adoption planning, records modernization, MDM migration, DevOps standards, and practical delivery with small teams under public-sector constraints.

• Established NIST CSF 2.0 Tier 3 (Repeatable) as the new baseline for onboarded systems across all core functions, replacing prior Tier 1 awareness-level practices and enabling automated, single-click audit reporting that reduced typical municipal IT audit effort from 40–120 staff hours to under 30 minutes.
• Delivered measurable advances in CJIS compliance for multiple public-sector customers, strengthening security controls while reducing administrative burden on sworn officers by 1–2 hours per day and allowing more time for street-level public safety work.
• Led a Microsoft Teams implementation for a municipal customer that expanded into a five-year city-wide AI adoption roadmap, aligning 26 major IT priorities across modernization, security enhancement, compliance enforcement, user training, AI adoption, and legacy phase-out; projected initial ROI within 6–8 months and full ROI by year three, with seven-figure annual savings expected from year four onward.
• Built and deployed a custom microfilm digitization tool that converted more than a century of legacy government records (dating to the 1800s) into OCR/ICR-optimized, PDF/A-compliant digital assets with full metadata in a single 21-hour continuous run—collapsing an estimated 10-year multi-person full-time effort—and reduced pre-digital public records request turnaround from weeks or months to days or hours.
• Applied structured guardrails and deterministic processes to AI-assisted development, enabling non-developer infrastructure and application engineers to safely expand into development work; accelerated project timelines 50–75%, allowed teams of 2–3 to deliver what previously required teams of 6–12, eliminated engineer overtime (previously 50–60 hours/week), and increased per-engineer revenue and profitability while expanding overall market footprint without added headcount.
• Directed a large-scale public-sector MDM migration completed in 45 days with one part-time engineer (versus a prior 6–9 month estimate requiring five engineers), achieving 100% success, zero data loss or service interruption, and only five support requests from a 2,300-user organization after a 15-minute training session.
• Designed and operated Azure DevOps and GitHub-based CI/CD pipelines and repository standards that automated deployment and release management for multi-environment application fleets while embedding security and compliance requirements as first-class, non-negotiable constraints alongside functional and budgetary needs.
• Provided architectural leadership for secure web and application solutions across internal and client environments, expanding Bedrock’s capabilities from family-office technology support into a full managed-service provider model serving public-sector and regulated clients while consistently managing concurrent teams averaging 6–12 people.
