I'm the Founding Principal and Managing Partner of Saint Systems, a Microsoft Partner for technology strategy, solution architecture and software engineering consulting. I've been building software for more than 25 years.
Most of my work is solution architecture: designing, securing and scaling distributed systems that the business depends on, and working between engineering teams and executives. More of it each year is AI-native, bringing large language models, agent workflows, embedding pipelines and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) into production systems.

PubKeep
PubKeep did not start as a business plan. It started with a phone call from my mom.
I built it after Microsoft removed Publisher from Microsoft 365 on October 1, 2026. More than 1,300 organizations signed up, most of them churches.
I started in the Microsoft world and later ventured into the open-source community. I've been taking things apart to see how they work since watching Inspector Gadget as a kid, and that's still how I learn.
