14+ years driving enterprise modernisation, leading multi-disciplinary technical teams, and aligning infrastructure strategy with organisational goals — most recently in healthcare IT.
I'm a Systems Engineering Manager with deep roots in enterprise infrastructure and a record of delivering programmes that move the needle financially and operationally — not just technically.
At Kennedy Krieger Institute I led a $3.2M infrastructure modernisation, migrating ~300 VMs from Broadcom VMware to Nutanix across three data centres — on time, avoiding an estimated $1.2M+ in near-term costs. Before that, eight years at Maryland Judiciary managing statewide VDI, Active Directory, and end-user computing across 60+ locations.
I hold an M.S. in IT Management (WGU, 2026) and am currently studying for CISSP. My home lab — Mad Miller Labs — is a working enterprise merger simulation built to demonstrate what I'd bring to your environment.
