About

Background

My career has moved through some unexpected territory. I have worked on enterprise systems at SpaceX, built cybersecurity infrastructure, and contributed to policy research and intelligence analysis. Each role taught me something different about how organizations actually function - and fail.

The common thread: data. Not data for its own sake, but data as the foundation for clear thinking and decisive action. Most organizations are drowning in information but starving for insight. My work is about bridging that gap.

Philosophy

I believe technology should serve people, not the other way around. That dashboards are useless unless someone changes their behavior because of what they see. That the best technical solutions are the ones you barely notice because they just work.

I also believe in stepping up. When times get hard, when problems seem intractable, when everyone else is pointing fingers - that is when the work matters most. Not for applause. Because it is necessary.

Approach

I work at the intersection of data engineering, analytics, and design. That means building pipelines, yes - but also thinking hard about how information gets presented, how decisions get made, and how systems evolve over time.

I favor solutions that are modular, well-documented, and built to last. Technology moves fast, but good architecture gives you room to adapt.

Outside Work

I am interested in design, particularly the kind that communicates clearly without shouting. I read widely - history, science, philosophy. I believe in taking care of the basics: sleep, exercise, time outside.
