Technology leader, former US Army Cavalry Platoon Sergeant, co-founder of i-Radek Software and CEO of the company behind Web Design Automation and the SONET Web Engine.

About the author

Dark Code was written by a veteran technology leader with more than three decades of experience spanning enterprise systems, military leadership, engineering support, cybersecurity, compliance, software lifecycle management and the development of the popular HTM2DP employee lifecycle management methodology. Since 2022, the author has been experimenting with advanced prompting systems, and building using AI, including managing actual AI augmented software development in production environments. His background includes certifications such as PCI-ISA, PCI-QIR, PCIP, CompTIA A+, Network+, Security+, Server+, ITIL v4, PSM I & II, and Google certifications in AI, Search, Analytics, Marketing and other disciplines. He is the CEO of the software company behind Web Design Automation and the SONET Web Engine which is recognized as the fastest Web CMS platform ever created. His technical career also includes leading engineering support teams recognized in EE Times Magazine’s “Best in EDA” survey, teaching and training support and management staff for the worlds largest computer corporation and speaking on eCommerce innovation since 1999. Before technology leadership, he served in the United States Army, becoming the youngest Cavalry Platoon Sergeant in the history of the 1st Squadron, 1st Cavalry Regiment. Dark Code is written from the perspective of someone who has spent decades operating at the intersection of software architecture, systems reliability, leadership, and emerging technology; not theory, but real-world implementation at scale.
