I’m a creative technologist, data engineer, and Ph.D. student with a passion for building intelligent systems that make a difference, both online and offline.

My journey started with a curiosity for how things work and a drive to make them better. That spark took me from reverse engineering and embedded robotics at Virginia Tech to quantum computing research and security system testing. Along the way, I picked up degrees, fellowships, and even a few capture-the-flag victories.

Today, I wear a few hats:
🎓 Ph.D. student in Computer Science (AI + Security)
🔐 Recognized Technical Talent at Lockheed Martin
🛠️ Creative entrepreneur & maker (yes, I laser cut my own product lines)

I specialize in developing secure, scalable data architectures—often weaving in machine learning, cloud-native platforms, and industry standards like OAGIS and QIF. I’ve worked across cybersecurity, AI, and DevSecOps, and I’m equally at home deploying code to OpenShift or sketching a product prototype for my home decor brand.

Whether I’m building a canonical data model for aerospace or designing a laser-cut wedding sign, I bring the same energy: thoughtful innovation, technical excellence, and a deep love for empowering people through technology.

Let’s build what’s next, together.
