Problem-solving isn’t just something I enjoy — it’s how I’m wired. My natural strengths in systems thinking and structured analysis help me take on the kinds of problems most people avoid.

3 Core Principles
1. “That’s how we’ve always done it” is not a reason — it’s a red flag.
Inertia is comfortable, but comfort can be costly. Every legacy process deserves scrutiny, not blind loyalty.
2. If a process can’t prove its value, it’s a candidate for change.
If the people doing the work can’t articulate why it matters, it’s time to simplify, streamline, or sunset it.
3. Change isn’t hard — unclear value is.
People don’t resist change. They resist confusion. When every stakeholder understands what’s in it for them, buy-in follows naturally.
