I build tools and apps to solve real problems—everything from integrating Sumo Logic alerts with Salesforce to creating interactive customer portals with Go and HTMX. Highlights include a SIEM alert triage system, a Post-Quantum Cryptography scanner, and prototypes that pushed our cybersecurity capabilities forward.

Joined as the fourth employee and lived the full startup grind—contributing to key decisions and building core products, from a Python Flask app (later pivoted to Vue.js) to a Chrome extension for seamless user interactions. Along the way, I built a data pipeline with Pandas and NumPy and mastered the Chrome API to deliver ahead of schedule.

Kept mission-critical systems running at the Reagan Test Site, from high-power transmitters and antennas to Linux servers and command destruct systems. Highlights include automating pre-mission checks (cutting validation time by 90%), restoring vital equipment under tight deadlines, and modernizing a mission ops room with a $1M+ upgrade.

Deployed to challenging environments to set up, operate, and maintain UAS systems, ensuring smooth mission planning and rapid troubleshooting. Delivered critical insights that shaped decisions with multimillion-dollar impacts for global military and civilian operations.

Managed teams of up to 60 personnel in the UAS sector, balancing mission priorities and regulatory compliance. As Quality Control and Production Control Manager for MQ-5B Hunter aircraft, I ensured maintenance met safety standards while optimizing schedules to keep the fleet mission-ready.
