Ian has repeatedly taken sole- or lead-developer roles on high-stakes projects, from signals analysis to custom semiconductor tool software, demonstrating both deep technical ownership and operational rigor. He mentors junior engineers and evangelizes modern delivery practices, often acting as the bridge between security, operations, and development. Based in Denver, he combines defense-grade engineering discipline with pragmatic automation to make complex deployments repeatable and auditable.
