We improve operations and build the systems behind them.

David works at the seam between operations and technology: the strategist who rethinks how an organization runs, and the builder who ships the systems that run it. Across healthcare, legal, architecture, and professional services, that work takes shape as analytics dashboards, custom CRMs, decision-support tools, and workflow automation.

His work begins where an organization has outgrown its spreadsheets. For a multi-site healthcare group, he stood up the first systems-and-automation function from the ground up and delivered a HIPAA-aligned operations platform with enterprise governance: role-based access, audit logging, and retention policies.

He translates ambiguous operational problems into clear requirements, sound governance, and durable systems. He holds an MBA in Information Systems and is completing an MS in Data Analytics and AI, backed by a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt (LSSBB), Project Management Professional (PMP) credential, Certified Supply Chain Professional (CSCP) designation, and an Enterprise Design Thinking Practitioner certification from IBM.

The discipline was set early. David enlisted in the U.S. Navy Reserve at 17 as a Seabee in the Naval Construction Force, drilling with Naval Mobile Construction Battalion (NMCB) 14 while holding a full-time job and finishing his degree. This Fall, he brings the same standard to the classroom as an adjunct professor of Business and Technology at Florida SouthWestern State College. He is co-founder of ZLDA Group, where he leads AI and process strategy.

Adan is a technology and IT operations leader responsible for all technology across two K-8 campuses serving 400+ students and staff, owning network infrastructure, systems, vendor management, budgeting, and day-to-day support.

He architected and implemented the IT processes and device-management systems behind a 400+ device environment, turning fragmented, manual operations into structured, scalable systems with reliable asset tracking, a stronger security posture, and improved compliance. His technical range spans enterprise networking and Cisco Meraki, Google Workspace administration, identity and access provisioning, and multi-site device lifecycle management.

A UC Merced graduate in Economics, Adan pairs budget discipline with hands-on technical fluency. He was promoted to interim director of a tutoring center backed by a $3M school district grant, overseeing 30+ staff and 300+ students, and he is fluent in Spanish, supporting bilingual teams, vendors, and clients directly.

He is co-founder of ZLDA Group, where he leads technology and IT operations, running client engagements end to end, from systems and infrastructure to a recent client website revamp, with a focus on making technology support the operation instead of adding friction.
