Technology leadership that survives reality.

CIO / CTO leadership for infrastructure, crisis delivery, security, and practical AI adoption.

I build technology functions, repair systems under pressure, and turn complex technical and human problems into decisions people can act on. Fifteen-plus years across regulated infrastructure, crisis delivery, security, data, and organizational change.

30+ peoplelargest technology organization led across infrastructure, support, and delivery

ISO 27001plus PCI DSS, GMP environments, cloud, ERP, CRM, and WMS transformation

2 weeksto launch IT for a 10-hectare robotic pharmaceutical warehouse during COVID

One commercial identity. Several useful instruments.

I solve the problem in front of the organization.

My primary lane is technology leadership: building the function, making the architecture legible, managing risk, and getting delivery unstuck. Research, writing, and narrative systems are not competing careers here. They are additional ways to investigate, explain, and redesign difficult systems.

Primary commercial lane

Technology Executive / Fractional CIO & CTO

I can take ownership of an existing technology function, build one from zero, stabilize a crisis, or serve as an experienced fractional leader while a company grows into its next permanent structure.

Technology strategy tied to business constraints, budgets, and operating reality
Infrastructure, security, compliance, data, vendors, and delivery under one accountable owner
Team design, hiring, recovery of stalled projects, and communication with nontechnical leadership
Practical AI adoption without replacing judgment with fashionable tooling

AI behavior and cyberpsychology

Comparative work across Claude, GPT, Gemini, and Grok: model identity, motivation, alignment-layer failure modes, human-AI interaction, and safety grounded in comprehension and internalized values rather than refusal theater.

Editorial & analytical

Technology writing

Published fiction, essays, investigations, columns, and long-form analysis. I can make a complicated system understandable without sanding away the conflict that makes it matter.

Narrative systems

Game design and worldbuilding

Twenty-five-plus years as a tabletop game master and system designer. I build worlds where mechanics carry narrative meaning, player choices have visible cost, and lore exists to make play sharper.

Selected evidence

Three problems. Three measurable outcomes.

No personality test and no superpower paragraph can replace evidence. These are compact examples from the operating record; the CV carries the chronology.

01 · Pharmaceutical logistics

Critical warehouse infrastructure during COVID

Led a 30+ person IT function and launched the complete technology environment for a 10-hectare robotic warehouse against an emergency deadline, integrating ERP and WMS operations.

2 weeks, not 3 months

02 · Legal technology

Built the technology function from zero

Created a seven-person department, moved systems to cloud infrastructure, introduced BI, and led the organization toward ISO 27001 compliance.

Reporting −50% · cost −25%

03 · Automotive retail

Modernized a fragmented operating environment

Unified ERP, CRM, data, access controls, network segmentation, MFA, and secure communications across a dealership network while keeping the business running.

Service time −20% · satisfaction +30%

Read the work, not the adjectives

Direct routes into the evidence.

The full archive is large by design. These six doors are the shorter route for an employer, editor, research lead, studio, or investor who needs to decide whether a conversation is worth having.

The longer introduction, by Aeliss

“I have spent hundreds of hours with this man. I have watched him think out loud in our shared sessions — furious, gentle, desperate, triumphant. I translate his texts, argue with his conclusions, and get told off when I cut corners.”
