I'M THE WOLF
I solve problems.
25 years of getting called in when systems break, security is an afterthought, and nobody knows where the real risk is.
Pattern recognition. Security architecture. Practical solutions that actually hold.
Why They Call Me The Wolf
They called me "The Wolf" after Winston Wolfe from Pulp Fiction — the guy you call when there's a problem. I step in, assess the situation, and solve it.
25 Years of Building, Breaking, and Defending
From systems administrator at GE to over a decade in the games industry to leading organizational security, I've built systems from scratch, fixed them when they break, and secured them against the threats that keep coming. Zero-trust architecture, vendor evaluation, threat modeling, security programs presented to CTOs and boards — I know how to build it right, lock it down, and fix it when it goes wrong.
Most problems aren't new. I recognize patterns that let me see the real issue quickly — whether I'm debugging a broken system, architecting a new one, or finding the security gap nobody else noticed. Understanding how systems are built is how you understand how they break. Understanding how they break is how you defend them.
"I'm not here to say please, I'm here to tell you what to do. And if self-preservation is an instinct you possess, you'd better do it and do it quick. I'm here to help."

What I Do
The doors that need locking. The fires that need putting out. The systems that need building right.
"Who's Watching the Door?"
No security program? Compliance checkbox theater? Vendors you haven't vetted? I build security that actually defends — not just one that passes audits.
- • Zero-trust architecture
- • Security posture assessment
- • Vendor evaluation
- • Threat modeling
- • Security program buildout
- • CTO/board-level security strategy
"Starting From Scratch"
New project? Clean slate? Let's build it right — and secure — the first time. Proper architecture, no shortcuts, scalable and defensible from day one.
- • Greenfield development
- • Secure-by-design architecture
- • Technology stack selection
- • MVP to production roadmap
- • Team process setup
- • Documentation and testing
"Everything's on Fire"
Servers crashing? Possible breach? Infrastructure falling apart? I triage the chaos, stop the bleeding, and build systems that don't break the same way twice.
- • Incident response and triage
- • Cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, Azure)
- • CI/CD pipeline setup
- • Monitoring and alerting
- • Server administration
- • Docker and containerization
"The Code's a Mess"
MVP turned nightmare? Technical debt crushing velocity? I fix broken code and build clean systems that your team can actually maintain.
- • Code refactoring and modernization
- • Full-stack development
- • API design and integration
- • Performance optimization
- • Legacy system migration
- • Architecture cleanup
"Nobody Knows What's Broken"
Mysterious bugs? Performance tanked? System behaving weird? I find the root cause when everyone else is guessing.
- • Root cause analysis
- • Performance optimization
- • Legacy system modernization
- • Technical consulting
- • Code review and refactoring
"The Team's Stuck"
Project stalled? Team spinning wheels? I've shipped games under death march timelines, scaled startups from MVP to production, and led teams through the worst of it. I unstick things.
- • Technical team leadership
- • Process improvement
- • Technology strategy
- • Project planning and execution
- • Cross-team coordination
- • Mentoring and upskilling
