As a Senior Systems Engineer - DevSecOps at Odyssey Systems, I leverage my 9+ years of experience in integrating diverse tools, applications, and systems in the DoD space. I am a recognized DevOps leader with a Security+ ce certification and expertise in continuous improvement and continuous deployment pipeline.
I am skilled in collaborating with all members of the organization to achieve business and financial objectives. I use my technical proficiency in C#, .NET, SQL, JavaScript, PowerShell, DSC, CONS3RT, SCCM, Orchestration, AWS, Automated Testing, and other advanced deployment strategies to streamline and improve processes, enhance productivity, and implement technology solutions. I am also trained in SAFe Agile and currently support the Agile Release Train program team. 
My areas of expertise include:
- GenAI expertise applying MCP and ADK to design and scale Agentic AI systems
- Observability, monitoring, and platform reliability
- Open source strategy and ecosystem alignment
- M&A, technical due diligence, and post-acquisition integration
Focused on helping enterprises integrate AI into their product engineering efforts in a structured, pragmatic way—whether they're just getting started, moving fast with small teams, or scaling mature GenAI and Enterprise SaaS capabilities.
With over 25 years of experience I bring deep technical and executive leadership to every phase of the product lifecycle. I specialize in accelerating time-to-market for mission-critical, enterprise-grade platforms across sectors including energy, telecom, cable, and utilities.
Most recently, I served as Chief Technology Officer at GridX, where I led technical strategy and execution across engineering, data, and security. I worked closely with product leadership to align the roadmap with customer needs, market trends, and AI/ML innovation. I’m especially focused on fostering a culture of quality, collaboration, and continuous improvement across globally distributed teams in the U.S., India, and China. 
👋 I’m Kate Morgan—author, founder, and your go-to partner when it comes to all things “peopleing.” For over two decades, I’ve worked with early-stage startups to build smart, scalable people strategies—from that first critical hire to the systems that support a thriving culture.
As CEO of Boston Human Capital Partners, I help founders think holistically about human capital: hiring with intention, designing cultures that actually work, and handling the messy, magical, and maddening realities of leading humans at work. We work across talent acquisition and HR—because getting someone in the door is just the beginning.
Our clients range from pre-seed optimism to companies that have found product-market fit and are seeing real revenue growth. What they all have in common? A desire for thoughtful, strategic hiring. They understand that people aren’t just the engine—they’re the blueprint for sustainable growth.
