About

Your AI tools are deployed. Your engagement scores look fine. But delivery timelines are slipping, rework is climbing, and your best engineers are quietly disengaging. If you're a CTO or VP Engineering, this is the part nobody measures: what AI tools are doing to your team's behavior. That's what I do. I'm a Fractional AI Culture Officer. I embed inside engineering organizations for 90 days and multiply AI ROI by fixing the human side. Not with more tools. Not with training. Not with a survey. With behavioral diagnostics built on your own metadata and certified coaching that changes how managers lead through AI adoption. I built CultureGuard, a proprietary platform that reads only read-only metadata from your collaboration and project management tools. No email content. No keystrokes. No screen monitoring. No AI/LLM processing. Just math on signals your organization already generates. Integrated with Microsoft 365 and Jira. Additional integrations on request. It classifies your team into four behavioral archetypes: AI Amplifiers: high AI usage, high delivery AI Masks: high AI usage, low output (biggest ROI leak) AI Overload: drowning in tool complexity, declining performance Quiet Multipliers: carrying teams with zero recognition The output is an ROI Leak Map showing how much of your AI spend is productive, wasted, or underinvested. In a recent 348-person engineering org, CultureGuard found 65% of AI spend leaking through behavior. Recoverable value: 58K/month with three interventions. Every analytics tool stops at the dashboard. I don't. When CultureGuard flags an AI Overload or a disengaging Quiet Multiplier, I'm inside your organization coaching the managers driving those patterns. Restructuring meetings. Fixing recognition. Addressing biological root causes, not symptoms. I don't just see that a manager is creating pressure loops. I understand the cortisol-driven control response underneath and I know how to change it. That's what the NBC-HWC and FDN-P credentials are for. Competitors measure activity. I diagnose behavior and fix it. 26 years in Fortune 50 IT. 13 of them building the infrastructure that generates the exact metadata CultureGuard now reads. How I work with companies: 1. Free 30-Day Diagnostic: full ROI Leak Report. No cost. No commitment. 2. 90-Day Embed: 2 days/week. Manager coaching, system redesign, measurable results. 3. Retained: ongoing monitoring, monthly reports, coaching. Board wants AI ROI numbers you can't produce? I show you where the money goes in 30 days. Free. Hit the Featured link or message me.

Cultureguard.ai

Fractional AI Culture Officer & Founder

Jan 2024Present · 2 yrs 3 mos · Raleigh, North Carolina, United States · On-site

  • I built CultureGuard because I spent 13 years watching enterprise AI tools get deployed and people get blamed when the ROI didn't show up. The problem was never the technology. It was that nobody measured what the technology was doing to human behavior.
  • CultureGuard is my proprietary diagnostic platform. It reads only read-only metadata from Microsoft 365 and Jira, applies mathematical thresholds (no AI, no LLM, no content access), and classifies engineering teams into four behavioral archetypes: AI Amplifiers, AI Masks, AI Overload, and Quiet Multipliers.
  • The output is an ROI Leak Map that shows engineering leaders exactly where their AI investment is producing value, where it's bleeding through behavioral patterns, and where targeted intervention recovers the most money.
  • But I don't just deliver a dashboard and walk away. I embed inside organizations as a Fractional AI Culture Officer, 2 days per week for 90 days. I coach the managers CultureGuard flags. I restructure meeting patterns that drive overload. I fix recognition systems that reward noise over delivery. I address the biological root causes of pressure-driven management, not just the symptoms.
  • What I built:
  • Privacy-first architecture: GDPR Article 5 aligned, 48-hour data retention, metadata-only analysis
  • Extensible rule engine: new behavioral detection rules ship in approximately 2 hours without core system changes
  • Three persona journeys: Executives (ROI dashboards), HR Leaders (early warning alerts), Engineering Managers (delivery friction maps)
  • Competitive positioning against Viva Insights, Qualtrics, and Worklytics on behavioral depth, not activity tracking
  • In a recent 348-person engineering org analysis, CultureGuard identified 65% of AI spend leaking through behavior. Recoverable value: 58K/month.
  • If you're an engineering leader who can't show your board where the AI money is going, I can. Free 30-day diagnostic, no commitment.

Centene corporation

Technical Product Lead, Enterprise Integration Platform

Aug 2012Dec 2023 · 11 yrs 4 mos · St.louis, MO · Remote

  • This is where I learned that enterprise technology generates more behavioral data than anyone realizes, and almost nobody reads it.
  • I owned the full product lifecycle for Centene's enterprise SSO integration platform, connecting 21 vendor partners and serving millions of healthcare members across multiple states. I built the identity and access management infrastructure that governed how people interacted with enterprise systems every day.
  • The work was technical: designing SSO IP/SP configuration frameworks, leading agile engineering teams (React, Node.js), managing HIPAA compliance and security reviews, and integrating with HRIS platforms like Workday, ADP, and BambooHR. I saved approximately 3,000 hours of development time by redesigning how integrations were scoped and delivered, cutting delivery timelines by 66%.
  • But the deeper lesson was human. I watched how technology adoption created invisible pressure loops on teams. I saw managers respond to new tools with more oversight, not less. I saw high performers go unrecognized while the most visible people got promoted. And I realized that the metadata flowing through these enterprise platforms told a story about human behavior that no engagement survey ever could.
  • That insight became CultureGuard.
  • 13 years at Centene taught me two things: how enterprise integration infrastructure actually generates data, and why that data matters more for understanding people than for understanding systems.
