The Document Intelligence Vision Behind Swift Ops
Transforming Document Chaos into Project Clarity
After nearly two decades project managing complex design and construction projects along with working with industry leaders like Amazon, Flexport, and Shopify, I witnessed a persistent challenge across the AEC world: talented professionals constantly bogged down by document chaos, scattered information systems, and hours lost searching for critical project details. Time that should have gone toward design innovation and project execution was being wasted on document management and information retrieval.
With a career rooted in both project delivery and technical problem-solving, I founded Swift Ops to eliminate this document chaos. By combining my expertise in construction management, document workflows, and AI automation, I help AEC firms transform how they handle information and unlock the full potential of their teams. Swift Ops exists to bring document intelligence, instant information access, and version control clarity to an industry that builds the world—one document-intensive project at a time.
