Cloud Native Architect focused on Kubernetes-based platform engineering in secure and enterprise environments.

I design and operate resilient platform ecosystems — often within air-gapped or high-security contexts — where reliability, lifecycle management, and infrastructure depth matter.

Active in the CNCF community and international KubeCon speaker, I combine architectural thinking with hands-on experimentation. I maintain a private multi-node lab environment to continuously test distributed systems, networking patterns, storage strategies, and GitOps workflows beyond production constraints.

My work sits at the intersection of cloud-native innovation and real-world infrastructure — bridging Kubernetes, security, storage, and networking into scalable, long-term platform strategies.

Driven by continuous learning, system thinking, and building platforms that enable engineering teams to move fast — responsibly.

Stephanie Clark started her career in cost accounting and manufacturing operations — and it was leading her company's first ERP implementation that hooked her for good. Twenty years and 500+ implementations later, she's the founder of Elliott Clark Consulting (ECC), a Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central partner built around a simple belief: technology only works when the process behind it is right first.

Stephanie developed ECC's Process → Technology → Automation methodology after watching too many implementations fail for the same reason — teams jumping to technology (or now, AI) before the underlying process could support it. She holds PMP, CPIM, and CBAP certifications and has spent two decades helping manufacturers and distributors get ERP right: effective, sustainable, and built to actually hold up under automation and AI.

When she's not presenting or writing on ERP strategy, she's leading ECC's growing team of consultants, helping mid-market manufacturers and distributors move past spreadsheets and disconnected systems into ERP environments that are genuinely ready for what's next.

Frank Berenyi is a Maine-based entrepreneur and former competitive athlete with experience leading ventures across martial arts, hospitality, real estate, and cannabis retail. His perspective is grounded in a career of entering demanding fields, learning their dynamics, and building operations that endure.

Athletics came first. He competed in soccer and wrestling in his youth and trained in kickboxing and jiu-jitsu in his early teens before opening his own martial arts school as a young adult. Running it required managing students, maintaining a facility, and building a reputation while competing at a high level, where he became known for consistency and discipline. He paired this with study in business operations, management, and strategic growth.

He went on to operate multiple bars and nightlife venues across Maine, balancing careful staffing and disciplined financial oversight while running each venue as its own operation. The work moved him from individual performance to organizational leadership, building teams and the structures that let a business run without the owner present at all times. He also entered real estate, repositioning undervalued properties and building an owned-asset portfolio.

His most significant undertaking is Marijuanaville, a cannabis retail venture he founded and grew into a network of locations across the state, with the goal of broadening access to medical cannabis in Maine through affordability and a wider base of patients.

Beyond business, Frank Berenyi contributes consistently to shelters, nonprofit organizations, and community initiatives focused on housing and basic resources, and remains active in business development, real estate investment, and operational strategy.

Dino Crnalic is an entrepreneur and executive whose professional journey reflects steady progress built on discipline, patience, and responsibility. He immigrated to the United States in 1999 and began shaping his future through education and consistent effort. Adjusting to a new environment required humility and perseverance, which influenced his long-term perspective on opportunity and work. Rather than pursuing rapid recognition, he focused on learning how systems function, earning trust through dependable actions, and developing habits that support stability, accountability, and sustainable professional growth over time.

Dino completed his university education while competing as a collegiate athlete, balancing academic expectations with the structure and demands of organized sports. This stage of life requires focus, resilience, and strong time management. Daily training and competition reinforced the importance of preparation, teamwork, and composure under pressure, while academic responsibilities emphasized consistency and follow-through. These experiences helped him understand the value of shared effort and personal accountability, lessons that later shaped his approach to leadership and decision-making in professional settings.

Crnalic began his professional career in the health and fitness industry, gaining early exposure to both customer engagement and operational execution. Work in the supplement and retail environment provided practical insight into consumer education, ethical responsibility, and the importance of consistency in daily business activities. During this time, he remained personally committed to training and continued expanding his understanding of conditioning and health management. This balance between hands-on experience and continued learning helped him develop a realistic and grounded view of the industry.

Dino Crnalic later transitioned into gym ownership, operating two fitness facilities over a combined twelve-year period. These businesses grew steadily and eventually employed more than one hundred individuals across training, operations, and administrative roles. He remained directly involved in hiring, staff development, scheduling, and operational oversight. Managing teams of this size required patience, clear communication, and consistent standards, particularly during periods of growth, staffing challenges, and ongoing changes within the fitness industry.

Dino gained meaningful entrepreneurial experience through the long-term operation and expansion of these fitness businesses. The facilities served individuals with a wide range of experience levels, requiring adaptability and respect for personal goals. One location received public attention for its scale and long-term vision, reflecting careful planning rather than rushed growth. These years reinforced lessons in financial discipline, customer retention, and the importance of maintaining service quality during both stable periods and times of economic uncertainty.

Crnalic expanded his professional focus beyond gym ownership into executive leadership and capital development. He has participated in raising more than twenty million dollars in capital for business ventures, working with investors to support growth while maintaining accountability. He currently serves in a chief operating officer role in the health care sector, overseeing operational systems and contributing to organizational strategy. This position reflects years of experience managing people, processes, and long-term performance expectations with consistency and care.

Dino Crnalic maintains a regular fitness routine as part of daily life, including strength training, cardiovascular exercise, and structured conditioning. He also pursues challenging outdoor activities that require preparation, focus, and an appreciation of risk. Experiences such as deep-water scuba diving and skiing reinforce discipline and composure under demanding conditions. These activities are approached as personal practices that support balance, mental clarity, and long-term physical well-being rather than external recognition.

Dino places strong importance on family, integrity, and responsibility in both personal and professional life. He is a devoted father who prioritizes presence, guidance, and shared experiences while also caring for close family members. After experiencing the loss of his wife to severe illness in 2011, he committed time and effort to charitable support through an established organization. This period reinforced values of compassion, consistency, and long-term commitment that continue to guide his decisions and actions.
