Aldor Solutions — Lead Developer and Software Engineer
2007 to 2010
Dallas, Texas
I joined Layered Tech, one of the earliest large-scale cloud hosting companies, during a before rapid industry expansion. After the company was acquired, I transitioned into its parent organization, Aldor Solutions, where I became the lead developer responsible for modernizing and advancing their SaaS platform built for the funeral services industry.
The acquisition context placed me directly inside the engineering track overseeing system migrations, product stability, and architectural upgrades for the company’s flagship web-based management platform. Aldor Solutions and the platforms were later acquired, and I supported engineering efforts through the transition.

Impact and Legacy
This period provided hands-on experience with early cloud computing, SaaS system design, and high-volume operational software. The engineering discipline developed here became foundational to my later work in enterprise architecture, law firm visibility systems, and RazorRank’s methodology development.
