I’ve spent 25 years building the systems businesses run on.

I trained in physics and math, and I’ve been shipping software since I was working my way through college. I ran product for a pharmacy software company, then spent eleven years as CEO of Preferati, a consultancy that built custom software for hundreds of businesses across industries.

One engagement changed everything. For 13 years I built and ran the complete parcel billing system for FirstMile, a national parcel carrier. Carrier rating, invoicing, reconciliation, the data underneath all of it. I learned how parcel pricing actually works from the inside, at production scale, invoice by invoice.

That’s why I founded Parcel Optimizer. Shippers overpay because carrier billing is opaque by design, and almost nobody outside a carrier has seen the machinery. I have. We audit parcel spend, find the money, and negotiate with data the carriers can’t wave away.

I’m a systems architect who operates: I still write code, and I still get on client calls. Along the way I’ve picked up a certified coaching practice, which mostly means I’ve learned to listen well.

If you ship parcels at volume and suspect you’re overpaying, you probably are. Let’s talk.
