Experience you don't want to earn yourself.
I write about what actually happens when you try to make technology work inside real organizations — the vendor decisions, the compliance surprises, the metrics arguments, and the things nobody tells you until it's too late. Fifteen years across fintech, nonprofit, legal, and enterprise.
I also take on select consulting engagements — hello@zsstor.com

The short version
I've discovered falsified SOC-2 reports and navigated the fallout. Hot-swapped a critical vendor overnight and terminated them for cause because we couldn't trust them not to sabotage us. Rebuilt data credibility at a national nonprofit after two prior failed attempts. Compressed a three-week profit distribution into one day.
The advice comes from having been the person accountable when things went wrong — not the person who recommended something and left before the consequences arrived.
