I'm currently engaged in manufacturing information systems development using Uniface.
2026 is also a year of setting project frameworks at a higher altitude.
- Better framing before build starts
- Repeatable patterns over heroics
- Consistency that scales across teams
Translation: fewer surprises, cleaner delivery, better outcomes.
Reconnected with a few Detroit roots this year, and that has been a serious boost. Old-school wisdom plus current-era tech perspective is a strong combo.
It brought grit, clarity, and a little Motor City edge back into the workflow.
March was all about defining migration direction from Azure Active Directory to Microsoft Entra ID.
- Clarified naming and identity transition impacts
- Mapped policy and access changes with intent
- Focused on stability, not just surface-level renaming
This was strategy work, not checkbox work.
Late February switched from planning to execution mode.
- New engagement, fast alignment, quick momentum
- Strong collaboration rhythm from day one
- Practical wins that set the tone early
Opened the year in Panama City Beach with salt air, clear focus, and notebook pages full of fresh plans. It was equal parts reset and runway.
- Travel adventure with purpose
- Big-picture thinking away from the noise
- Energy reset before major project push
