Legacy Systems Holding You Back? Transform Without the Chaos.
I specialize in legacy-to-modern transformations for manufacturing and logistics-driven businesses — without disrupting daily operations. 20+ years of enterprise IT, ERP, and warehouse modernization experience.
"Modernization Without Disruption™"Strategic Technology Leadership for Critical Operations

- Cloud, API, and Integration Layers
- ERP Selection and Migration
