Case Studies
Deluxe Corporation
AWS Data Lake Build
At Deluxe, I led the architecture and implementation of an AWS-based data lake to centralize enterprise data across finance, marketing, and operations. Leveraging Amazon S3, Glue, and Athena, we built a scalable, secure environment that enabled advanced analytics, reporting, and real-time insights. I oversaw data ingestion pipelines, metadata cataloging, and governance standards to ensure high data quality and usability across business units.
3M
Cloud Migration
At 3M, I supported the execution of a large-scale lift-and-shift migration to transition multiple legacy data centers into a unified cloud environment. Focused on infrastructure consolidation and risk mitigation, we leveraged AWS to modernize core systems, enhance scalability, and reduce technical debt. I coordinated across global teams to align workloads, orchestrate migration timelines, and ensure business continuity throughout the enterprise transformation.
Securian Financial
Cloud Transformation
At Securian Financial, I consulted on a $10M enterprise-wide initiative to migrate all data center infrastructure to the public cloud. This transformation required end-to-end coordination across technology, finance, training, governance, and security domains. I contributed to cloud readiness assessments, developed migration roadmaps, and supported stakeholder alignment to drive a secure and scalable transition from on-prem to AWS infrastructure.

My Cloud Journey
Beginnings
After earning my degree in Industrial and Systems Engineering from the University of Minnesota – Twin Cities, I began my consulting career at Deloitte. For four years, I traveled nationally, Monday through Thursday, helping Fortune 500 clients navigate enterprise technology transformations. That pace accelerated my learning curve—I was exposed to complex cloud strategy, digital modernization, and large-scale systems integration. In many ways, it felt like I condensed eight years of experience into four.
Local Model
By 2018, I was ready to plant deeper roots. I got married, and in early 2019, our daughter Adeline was born. That’s when I transitioned to Slalom Consulting in Minneapolis, embracing their local delivery model. It was the right fit—less time in airports, more time building long-term client partnerships. I led cloud and infrastructure projects end to end, combining technical execution with strategic oversight. I found my sweet spot: helping teams untangle complexity while keeping big-picture goals in focus.
Independent - But Not Alone
When the pandemic reshaped the world, it gave me a rare chance to pause and realign. I stepped out on my own as an independent cloud project manager—and never looked back. Consulting was always my calling, but this new model gave me space to go deeper:
To be unbiased.
To move faster.
To step in where others hesitate—especially in high-stakes areas like disaster recovery and transformation, where trust and resilience are non-negotiable.
Today, I help companies migrate to the cloud, modernize legacy infrastructure, and protect their most critical systems. Whether you're preparing for growth or planning for the unexpected, I lead with calm, clarity, and commitment. It's been an incredible journey—and maybe your project is next.
