About Derek
My career has been defined by turning complexity into clarity using design thinking at the forefront. Regardless of the work like architecting scalable data solutions that aggregate, cleanse, and visualize information in intuitive dashboards; scripting automated routines that run reliably in the background; and crafting tools that make ad-hoc analyses both fast and dependable. These projects weren’t just technical exercises—they directly enabled stakeholders to make faster, data-driven decisions and capture new opportunities. While these are great successes a deeper more important root cause could always be identified. With an empathetic mindset it allowed the deepest of problems to surface asking the harder more difficult questions and not just address surface level issues.
On the operational side, I’ve built workflow engines that manage the lifecycle of customer communications—merging variable data, enforcing compliance rules, and orchestrating multi-channel delivery. The result? Near-zero defects on high-stakes campaigns, accelerated production schedules, and a measurable uptick in customer engagement. This blend of precision engineering and process-first thinking taught me that technology’s true value lies in its ability to empower people.
That philosophy is at the heart of OmniVerse. We partner with you to map out your existing pain points, then apply our full-stack development, automation expertise, and cyber security best practices to craft solutions tailored to your world. Whether it’s a custom app that automates your unique workflows or a hardened network that keeps your data safe, our work reflects a simple promise: remove friction, protect your peace of mind, and let you focus on growing your business or enriching your family life.
As we solve these immediate challenges, we also lay the groundwork for continuous improvement. Our proactive monitoring and analytics services keep you ahead of issues, while regular strategy check-ins ensure your technology road map evolves with your goals. This ongoing partnership transforms OmniVerse from a vendor into an extension of your team.
By scaling the human-centered approach that drove our early success—thousands of requests resolved and strong IT partnerships formed—we’re poised to open multi-state centers and host collaborative workshops. By combining our technical depth with design-thinking principles, we’ll help you re-imagine what’s possible and build resilient, human-centered solutions that grow alongside your ambitions.
Thoughts on Design Thinking
Design thinking, at its core, is the marriage of human behavior and design principles, guided foremost by empathy rather than rigid rules. Rather than treating problems in isolation—like a traffic law that applies only to speeding—design thinking embraces broad, love-driven principles that anticipate how solutions will affect people in known and unforeseen scenarios. It’s both a mindset and a structured, iterative process—rooted in empathizing, defining, ideating, prototyping, and testing—that mirrors the software development lifecycle but centers human needs at every step. By continually asking “why” before “what,” we uncover root causes and craft holistic solutions that endure. Ultimately, entrepreneurship guided by design thinking isn’t just about fixing technology or delivering services—it’s about genuinely understanding people’s desires, earning their trust through authentic conviction, and creating lasting value in their lives.
