Background
Who I Am
I'm a Data Engineer and technologist who started coding at 12 from building apps and publishing games before I knew what a career was. That obsession with building things that work never left. Today I engineer mission-critical systems across defense, aerospace, and government, from AWS GovCloud infrastructure and multi-stage data pipelines or complete SaaS products to AI-powered data platforms/LLMs processing peta-bytes of data.
My work spans the full stack of modern data engineering — Spark, Lambda Functions, TS, GoLang, Kafka, Terraform, SageMaker, Rust, Python, REST/SOAP — applied to systems where precision isn't optional. I've built defense contracts with Lockheed Martin and Sikorsky, delivered AI solutions through the IBM Partner Program, and currently engineer secure data infrastructure at SteerBridge supporting programs that serve those who served.
Beyond the day-to-day, I build — Guardis, Relay, SignalForge, ViDaT — products at the intersection of AI, cloud, and real-world impact. I don't build for the sake of building. The mission always comes first, and the mission makes the work personal.
