Biography

The long way around

Mackenzie's first technical job was in 2012, keeping desktops and servers running for a string of school districts in Cleveland. In 2013 he moved to Boston and joined Goji (formerly Consumer United), where he took over Salesforce administration end to end — dialing strategy, IVR, a DocuSign integration built over API, and the multi-join SQL that caught internal fraud.

The mid-2010s were a stretch: CTO of a mobile entertainment startup, contract work at WGBH and YearUp, and a blockchain support role out of Zurich helping launch an ICO. Different industries, same pattern — learn the system, find where it leaks, fix it.

In 2018 he joined Manulife Asset Management, where he installed Einstein Analytics and replaced a PowerPoint reporting cycle that took three weeks with a dashboard that takes one day. In 2019 he led the org-wide Salesforce onboarding at M Financial Group — built the CEO activity dashboard, streamlined the case process, trained every department, and earned his Salesforce Administrator certification.

From 2020 to 2026 he took a deliberate break as a primary caregiver — and kept his hands on real systems. He built and operates a multi-GPU home AI cluster serving local LLMs, founded a 24/7 live internet radio station with fully automated content and a real-time audio pipeline, and built the family web portal that runs it all. Not a hobby — infrastructure he runs every day.

Now he's back: remote-first, available focused hours weekly, references on request.
