About
Software engineer with a background spanning defense systems, high-traffic data pipelines, and technical operations leadership. I’ve built software at Raytheon Intelligence & Information Systems, managed data infrastructure at DHISCO, and led a hardware manufacturing company through a multi-state relocation and full e-commerce platform migration as CEO. My work sits at the intersection of software engineering, security architecture, and operational resilience.

Technical Leadership — Took Magic Flight from engineer to COO to CEO. Led a 10,000 sq ft multi-state manufacturing relocation with zero e-commerce downtime. Managed platform migration from BigCommerce to Shopify. Optimized production lines, built SOPs, hired and trained teams.
