I'M THE WOLF
I solve problems.
25 years of getting called in when systems break, teams are stuck, and deadlines are looming.
Pattern recognition. Rapid diagnosis. Practical solutions that actually work.
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 and Fixing
From systems administrator at GE to over a decade in the games industry, I've built systems from scratch and fixed them when they break. Database architecture, deployment pipelines, team processes, security implementations - I know how to build it right 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 or architecting a new one. The last decade of startup work has shown me the same patterns repeatedly: MVP that can't scale, technical debt crushing velocity, teams spinning wheels. I know how to avoid these traps from day one.
"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."
