About

I have spent 23 years building and operating Digital Storm, a technology company focused on high performance workstations, AI servers, and complex computing systems for demanding customers.That experience shaped how I think about AI.The companies that will benefit most from AI are not looking for another tool or a cheaper bot. They are looking for operating leverage.They already have customers, teams, systems, and momentum. The opportunity is to make the business move faster, increase capacity, improve visibility, and create more upside from the operation they have already built.That is why I started Struq AI.Struq AI began in 2022 as an internal initiative inside Digital Storm. We were already working around AI infrastructure, internal systems, customer operations, and the real deployment challenges that appear when new technology has to work beyond the demo.Today, Struq AI helps growing companies identify where AI can create the most operating leverage, then designs, deploys, and manages systems that improve how work moves across the business.My focus is strategy, governance, deployment, measurement, workflow design, and operational scaling. Practical AI systems for companies that want more leverage, not more software clutter.I write about AI, operating leverage, founder judgment, business systems, and where I think companies are getting AI wrong.

Gilroy, CA

Built and operated Digital Storm for twenty three years as a premium technology company focused on high performance workstations, AI servers, and complex computing systems for demanding customers. Digital Storm serves customers who need performance, reliability, and expert guidance across advanced computing, custom workstations, AI infrastructure, and technical deployment needs. My role spans company strategy, product direction, positioning, customer experience, technical sales, ecommerce, operations, service, vendor relationships, and cross functional execution across the business. Digital Storm is also the operating foundation behind Struq AI. The same lesson applies across both companies: complex technology only creates value when it becomes reliable, useful, and operationally practical. Relevant focus areas include AI servers, high performance workstations, technical customer advisory, operations, service systems, product strategy, market positioning, customer experience, and internal process improvement.
