The Foundation
“Torah guides everything.”
Not a tagline. The operating principle behind every engagement, every decision and every line of code. Honesty with clients. Responsibility for what I build. The sanctity of time, which is why I spend my days finding the hours organisations waste and giving them back. And the obligation to protect what has been entrusted to your care, which is what cybersecurity means at its deepest level.
אמת
Emet · Truth
I tell clients what they need to hear, not what they want to hear. In security, in AI, in strategy.
שמירה
Shmirah · Guardianship
Protecting data with the same vigilance as mitzvot. Security is not a feature. It is a moral obligation.
זמן
Zman · Time
Every hour saved by automation is an hour returned to a human being for something that matters.
Proof of Work
Results, not theory.
One day, start to finish
A financial services company handled hundreds of scanned documents a week by hand: remittances, invoices, compliance letters. Each was opened, read, renamed, filed to SharePoint, and its Jira ticket updated manually.
I designed, built and deployed a Claude-powered pipeline in a single day. It watches the Jira queue, reads each PDF, classifies it, renames it, files it in the right SharePoint folder and closes the ticket. Zero human touches after setup, with CISSP-scoped access controls and audit logging.
The 200 hours a month of manual document handling had a real cost nobody had measured. Once the pipeline went live, that cost disappeared: $92,400 a year, from one day of build time.
No new tools for the client, no retraining. It plugged into the Jira and SharePoint they already used.
That is more than a full-time employee's month, returned to people who were spending it on work a machine does better: reading, renaming and filing documents.
The question is never only what can be automated. It is what that person should be doing instead.
A major ransomware attack hit a Tier-1 automotive supplier serving Ford, GM, Mercedes, Tesla and Toyota. As Global IT Director, I led the recovery across 18 facilities in the US, Canada and Mexico.
First 48 hours. Every facility was cut off from the internet. We restored what we could from limited backups, deployed SentinelOne and scanned everything else, rebuilt servers where needed, and migrated data off damaged servers once it was cleaned.
The months after. Internet came back behind very tight firewall rules while we rebuilt the network: more than 500 subnets collapsed to 7, repeated identically at all 18 sites. Any device could now be found by pattern (10.site.vlan.x), which made monitoring and support predictable everywhere.
Result: every facility back to full operation, zero ransom paid, and a network that went on to ISO 27001 certification across all plants.
A $20M budget across four countries
I ran IT for 18 facilities in the US, Canada and Mexico on a $20M global budget, leading a multinational team across four countries, entirely through distributed remote leadership.
I cut IT operating costs by 20% through vendor consolidation and infrastructure rationalisation, and led post-acquisition integrations in the US, Japan, Canada and Mexico at the same time.
From 65% to 99%+ first-pass yield
Paint inspection on automotive parts was done by people. Repetitive visual checks tire people out, and tired inspectors miss things: dust, hairs and flaws in the paint.
What we built. High-resolution cameras, bright controlled lighting and AI that detects imperfections, measures them and decides against each automotive customer's specs whether a part needs rework. Robots then move each part to the cleared rack or the rework rack.
Results: the inspection line went from 5 people to 1, who keeps racks ready for the robot. Parts reach rework faster, and defective parts shipped to customers dropped to zero, ending the cost of returns, return shipping and lost production time.
vCISO, IT direction and program management in one senior hire. Board-ready security, ransomware recovery, ISO 27001, FedRAMP, NIST 800-53. A $1B Epic EHR deployment and an 18-facility ransomware recovery with zero ransom paid.
I eliminate the manual processes costing your team hundreds of hours a month, securely. Custom Claude integrations, reusable workflows and team-wide AI setup, each scoped by a CISSP for access and data handling. One day's work saved a client $92,400 a year.
Every workstation and server monitored around the clock, patched on schedule and protected, run by a CISSP. Remote access, managed antivirus and vulnerability scanning, with EDR and 24/7 detection when you need them. Your remote IT and security team without the headcount.
Custom web applications Wix can't build: member portals, attendance, health tracking, automated reporting, year-end tax docs. From a brochure site to a full business backend, hosted and maintained so you never touch the technical side.
I started in IT infrastructure. Moved into healthcare, managing a $1B Epic EHR deployment across 14 hospitals. Moved into manufacturing, running 18 facilities across three countries, building SCADA systems on factory floors and recovering from a major ransomware attack without paying a dollar. Then retail, then AI automation, then Israel.
The industries changed. The work changed. The question never did: how do you build technology that people can actually trust?
I am also a rabbi. Torah is not separate from any of this. It shapes how I approach every client, every problem and every decision. When you are entrusted with someone's data, infrastructure or hours, you carry real responsibility for it.

Ready to recover the hours your team is wasting?
A ransomware crisis, a manual process that should not exist, or a technology strategy that needs senior leadership. Let's talk. I respond to every message.
