Technology is
one connected
system.

I’ve spent a career learning every layer of it—from networks and security to digital products and artificial intelligence.

THE PERSPECTIVE

“Breadth isn’t knowing a little about everything. It’s knowing how everything connects.

My work crosses boundaries because real problems do. Infrastructure affects security. Security shapes products. Products create data. Data fuels intelligence.

02 / THE LONG ARC

Built layer
by layer.

The common thread is curiosity: get close to the problem, understand the system, then make it better.

THE FOUNDATION

Networks, servers & uptime

Learning technology from the infrastructure up—maintaining critical systems, global web operations, and the discipline of reliability.

1990s
THE WEB ERA

Products, platforms & growth

Building for the web since 1999, then connecting design, engineering, search, content, and business outcomes.

2000s
THE STRATEGIC LAYER

Security, leadership & defense

Bringing technical depth into executive rooms and high-stakes environments where decisions have lasting consequences.

2010s
THE INTELLIGENCE LAYER

AI, ML & what comes next

Applying intelligent systems without losing sight of the humans, infrastructure, and security underneath them.

NOW
Brad’s proven technical skills are both vast and impressive, as is his ability to manage multiple large projects and complete them on time.
