Background

• U.S. Military Academy at West Point, B.S. Electrical Engineering
• Johns Hopkins University, M.S. Computer Science

I served as an Army captain, company commander, and Black Hawk pilot. I still run projects with clear plans, direct communication, and a focus on getting work shipped.

What I do

I work on software, cloud, data, and AI for organizations that need systems built, fixed, or brought up to date.

• Modernize large enterprise applications: refactor, replatform, and move to new versions while keeping operations running
• Design and run cloud and data systems on AWS, including pipelines, reporting, APIs, and platforms meant to stay in production
• Set up local AI infrastructure on NVIDIA hardware and use agentic coding models in real project work
• Add AI for automation, decision support, and workflow improvements where it helps the team
• Work within institutional requirements when needed, including vendor registration, procurement, and security-focused delivery

Who this is for

Commercial teams, government programs, and academic groups that want one engineer accountable for the technical work. I am most useful when the project touches several systems or has real operational stakes.
