Professional Summary

Project Management · Cybersecurity · Delivery

Kory Kaai is an IT project manager and technical operations professional with a U.S. Army background. I coordinate stakeholders, gather requirements, support system implementation, and improve workflows across software, web, infrastructure, and business systems.

My delivery work spans B2B consulting through Kaai Tech LLC, finance technology operations, federal digital programs, and healthcare operations. I stay close to the technical work: access control, quality review, cloud and web platforms, and production support that keeps systems reliable. This site highlights selected projects and writing — not a résumé — but the same focus I bring to IT and cybersecurity program roles.

Built Anyway

What I learned starting KAAI TECH LLC and shipping everything that came after

Memoir and field notes: what it felt like to put the company on paper, lead it, keep building, and ship real products while people keep asking for faster delivery and fewer excuses. I skip the passive-income-on-a-beach fantasy.

Topics include building skills over time, cybersecurity lessons, service and coming home, freelance work and non-technical managers, contracts, products that stay simple, and why humans still guide AI. I do not give legal, medical, or financial advice here. You get experience and plain language you can use Monday morning.
