About

The Short Version

I'm a technology practitioner with 25+ years of experience and 150+ client engagements. I've spent my career learning why IT projects fail—and building systems that make them succeed. Today, I run IOanyT and Vigil by IOanyT, bridging the gap between what technology promises and what businesses actually experience.

The Longer Version

The observation that started it. After leading an 80-person engineering team at Cognizant/Xerox and delivering $19M in enterprise innovations, I kept seeing the same pattern: companies buying great technology and getting mediocre outcomes. It wasn't the tech that failed them—it was the space between the technology and their business reality. Tools without context. Dashboards without accountability. Promises without delivery.

What 150+ engagements taught me. In 2016, I founded IOanyT to test a hypothesis: what if the problem wasn't technology, but how we deliver it? Over 150+ engagements later—SaaS platforms, financial systems, AI products, cloud migrations—the data confirmed it. Projects don't fail from bad technology. They fail from fragmented context, undocumented decisions, and no one owning the outcome. The client who hired three vendors, each pointing fingers when production broke at 2am. The startup that spent $200K on monitoring tools but couldn't tell me why their system was slow. The CTO who showed me 47 open Slack threads about a single deployment.

What the industry gets wrong. The market is flooded with companies claiming "we use AI." But using AI tools isn't a differentiator—having a systematic process is. SaaS tools sell self-service automation as if it replaces the need for expertise. It doesn't. Datadog doesn't reduce the need for engineers—it changes what engineers do. The work moved. It didn't disappear. Someone still needs to interpret 500 alerts at 2am and decide what matters.

What I'm building now. IOanyT is a methodology-driven software services company where AI augments senior engineers—it doesn't replace them. Every decision documented. Every handoff traceable. Every outcome owned by people who care. Vigil by IOanyT takes this further: replacing fragmented DevOps tools with one relationship, one team, one invoice. We own the outcomes. You own your sleep.

What I Believe

•
The Delivery Gap: Most technology fails not from bad tech but from bad delivery. The gap between what technology promises and what businesses experience is where projects die.
•
Senior + AI: AI amplifies senior judgment—it doesn't replace it. AI drafts, seniors decide. That's the orchestra model: AI handles the 80%, humans handle the 20% that actually matters.
•
Outcome Ownership: Dashboards aren't solutions. Accountability is. If no one owns the 2am page, you don't have monitoring—you have expensive notifications.
