About AJ

Hi, I’m AJ Wood—curious by nature, disciplined by habit, and passionate about building systems that improve how people live and work.

I’m a Technical Project Manager with deep experience in data quality, ETL pipelines, and software implementations. Most recently, I worked at BS&A Software, where I led projects focused on migrating and transforming critical municipal datasets. My strength lies in bridging the technical with the human: translating complex systems into outcomes that matter.

But work is only one lens.

I read over 100 books a year—from behavioral economics to personal development to philosophy—searching for clarity, context, and better questions. I’ve renovated rental properties, am passionate about financial independence, and dabble in painting (with more enthusiasm than talent, admittedly).

Right now, I’m building something new: Ocean Investment Group, a venture designed to support meaningful work, smart investing, and sustainable living. I’ve also soft-launched my content presence under the name BuildWithWood, where I plan to share insights on personal growth, finance, tech, and creative experimentation.

If you’re the kind of person who enjoys thinking in systems, learning , or designing a life with intention, we’ll probably get along.

Let’s connect.
