About Me

With over a decade of experience in aerospace, telecommunications, and energy, I've built, tested, and deployed scalable software solutions that support mission critical systems.

As a Senior Software Engineer at Verizon, I helped design and maintain features that strengthened network security and fraud prevention, consistently exceeding customer expectations. At ULA, my contributions saved taxpayers millions of dollars each year by improving efficiency in failure reporting.

I thrive in collaborative, agile environments and take pride in mentoring junior developers and interns, supporting shared growth, and helping teammates overcome challenges. Known for my reliability, adaptability, and strong work ethic, I bring a thoughtful and conscientious approach to every project.

I've earned formal recognition and awards in every role I've held, reflecting my commitment to quality, ownership, and impact. My values of integrity, respect, and humility guide how I lead, contribute, and grow. I am always seeking new challenges that stretch my skills and allow me to build something that matters.
