I’m a results-driven consultant passionate about helping federal agencies navigate complex technology landscapes. With a strong foundation in AI solutioning, project management, and operational strategy, I’ve partnered with organizations like the Department of Veterans Affairs, Department of Defense, and even the U.S. Senate to drive transformation and deliver meaningful impact. I’m always open to connecting with forward-thinkers in tech, government, and consulting spaces. Let’s connect and explore how we can drive innovation together.

Senior Software Engineer with strong experience in Application Lifecycle Management (ALM), software development, and Agile/Scrum methodologies. My expertise is varied, and I consider myself a "Swiss Army Knife" in operations across Software development/DevOps. I like to be challenged and take pride in being able to parachute into any situation, identify and understand what changes need to be made, and proactively gain knowledge in creating those changes. I am a natural communicator and team player who excels in working with cross-functional teams. I am passionate about mentoring my team and leadership on everything from architecture and design decisions to process improvements. I thrive in supporting groups of like-minded peers with a thirst for success and a love of technology. I energize my teams through a positive approach and can-do attitude, combined with technical knowledge that supports the effective removal of obstacles, enabling a successful project execution.
