Technical delivery.
Customer ownership.

Customer-facing work since 2015: reporting services, solution architecture, integrations, and implementation leadership. I’ve worked at software companies and led software delivery inside accounting firms.

  1. Nov 2025 - Present

    LSL, LLP

    Senior Manager

    • Lead Workiva delivery for city and county finance teams. Map source-ledger data into financial reports and budget books, and run user sessions and testing through client sign-off.
    • Scope consulting engagements, prepare estimates and statements of work, respond to RFPs, and demonstrate proposed solutions to customers.
    • Develop Python tools that generate Workiva data links, formulas, and validation checks from client ledgers, reused across financial-reporting and budgeting engagements.
    • Built an internal AI-assisted cash-flow review workflow covering 11 source workpapers with 69 automated arithmetic checks, flagging discrepancies for human review. Internal LSL workflows are separate from my synthetic public demos; client changes require human review.
