01 / StrategIQ Ventures

The proposal is the easy part.
I stay for the build.

I've spent 25 years taking on the projects no one else wanted to own or could finish. Turns out that's a career. Interim CIO, fractional CTO, head of product, board advisor: the title changes, the assignment doesn't. Help teams integrate practical AI, execute ambitious technical projects, and navigate chaos. And don't break the company doing it.

02 / Engagement

Three ways in.

Interim

Interim or fractional CIO / CTO

I embed with the team for six to twelve months, set the operating cadence, own the roadmap, and get releases predictable. Then I hand it to someone permanent.

Advisory

Advisory and diligence

Product and technical diligence for founders, boards, and investors. Engineering and roadmap review, team and execution risk, and whether the AI architecture will survive contact with a regulator.

Build

Hands-on build

When the fastest path is to build it myself: the launch site or app, the data pipeline, the prototype, the AI layer and its prompt strategy. An agentic engineering team building at a velocity not possible even twelve months ago. Nobody should be building like it's 2025.

Case studies: ParentMD · OccMed · Direct Pediatrics

2026+ Confidential client I serve as strategic advisor to a U.S. battery manufacturer heading into a raise and its first customer contracts. I'm setting the market position and building the materials to secure letters of intent and first purchase orders: the customer supply proposal, the investor deck and financial model, and answers on domestic sourcing, tax credits, and certification readiness, prepared before diligence asks. Energy · Strategy and build

2026+ NOCTERM I co-founded NOCTERM, the most advanced AI-native trading terminal on the planet, and run it as CEO. I set the strategy and positioning, wrote the financial model and the investor case, and lead go-to-market. Working with frontier AI models and agentic development, my co-founder and I took it from an empty repository to a best-in-class trading platform in six months. Fintech · Co-Founder

2026+ ParentMD · Baby Playbook I'm the fractional head of product and technology for Baby Playbook, a pediatrician-led parenting app distributed through health systems. I led its ground-up rebuild: the requirements, roadmap, and redesign, the HIPAA review of its AI assistant, the development vendors, and a large share of the app code. It's live with two health systems covering about 24,000 births a year. Read the case study Healthcare · Strategy and build

2026 OccMed Physicians For an employer-focused occupational medicine clinic, I rebuilt the site around the people it serves: employers by industry, the employees they send, and the community. It went live 30 days after our first meeting, 17 days ahead of the contract, with perfect Google scores for accessibility, best practices, and SEO, six HIPAA-compliant forms, everything living in accounts the clinic owns, and 684 automated checks behind every change.

2026 Direct Pediatrics For a membership pediatric practice in Louisville, I rebuilt the site to remove every point of friction between a parent and one next step: scheduling a meet-and-greet. It launched on the date the agreement set with 100 in every Google PageSpeed category, up from 55, every form on a HIPAA-compliant service, everything running in accounts the practice owns, and structured data that tells Google and AI answer engines who each doctor is, where they practice, and what membership costs.

2026 Attunia I built and run Attunia for Honaker Health, starting from the name: the brand, the site, and the affiliate platform behind it, live since July 2026. Affiliates register qualified buyers, the platform hands them to AuraWell for the sale, and each referral is tracked through to commission. I wrote the platform spec and rebuilt the order flow when AuraWell changed its process. Consumer health · Partner

2025 to 2026 Visor Health I served as acting CIO for an AI-assisted orthopedic care platform as it prepared to commercialize. I put an operating model in place across product, engineering, clinical, and vendor teams: a product council, feature scoring, decision rights, and a release cadence. I built the capacity plan and reset the scope behind the launch date, and prototyped patient intake and diagnosis scoring. Healthcare · Interim CIO

2018 to 2024 Off Camber Creative I founded Off Camber Creative and served as its CEO and product lead. We built an AI platform for intraday equities and futures trading and ran it in live production for more than two years for individual and institutional clients. I raised capital from investors, led the engineering teams, and handled compliance with the SEC, NFA, and FINRA. Fintech · Founder
