At NBCUniversal, with the support and help of the News Production Strategy team, I've led the charge in revolutionizing areas of the technical infrastructure for high-profile shows like the Today Show, News Now, and Today All Day. My work included the creation of AWS Lambda-based preprocessing ingest functions, automating the cue sheet process with Soundmouse, and enhancing media handling efficiency through Python, AWS, and ffmpeg.I also spearheaded the shift from on-premise systems to a robust cloud-based infrastructure using AWS (EC2, S3, CloudFront, Route 53, IAM), significantly boosting our operations' scalability and security. My strategic efforts included migrating Microsoft SQL Server databases to AWS’s Aurora, optimizing performance, and securing data more efficiently.Further, I integrated Python applications within a Dockerized framework, speeding up development cycles and facilitating cross-platform compatibility. This initiative, along with the development of Python-based applications leveraging AWS, markedly improved content management and reduced errors across NBCUniversal’s global projects.Conceptualizing a serverless media workflow architecture aligned with AWS Roadmap and Core services, enabling a scalable and efficient content delivery system for NBC News Channel affiliates, ensuring zero asset loss and superior content quality has made me a pivotal asset during the modernization of NBCUniversal's infrastructure. This represents a pivotal step towards a more agile and innovative technology landscape at NBCUniversal.

In my role within the United States Marine Corps, I led the creation and implementation of Standard Operating Procedures, enhancing team readiness by 40% through deep technical training in vehicle and communications equipment maintenance. I innovated an inventory management system, significantly improving equipment tracking and reducing costs, and managed over $52 million in military assets, ensuring flawless accountability.My leadership extended to coordinating complex training exercises involving up to $133 million in assets and 190 personnel, achieving 100% mission success. I efficiently planned and executed multiple projects, interfacing directly with Senior Leadership to enhance maintenance readiness. Recognized for my communication skills and innovative problem-solving, I streamlined inventory processes, serving as a Subject Matter Expert (SME) in guiding maintenance strategies.Overseeing 250+ maintenance projects, I adhered strictly to safety guidelines, resulting in zero incidents. Academically, I excelled in Leadership courses with a 97% GPA, earning a Certificate of Commendation and distinguishing myself as an Honor Graduate. I completed the Microsoft Software and System Academy with a 4.0 GPA, obtaining crucial certifications that prepared me for roles in system engineering and administration, including hands-on experience with Microsoft Azure and advanced systems automation, establishing a secure and efficient Active Directory environment.

As the business owner, I adeptly managed Windows web servers with IIS, AD DS, domain configurations, etc., to increase our operational efficiency and sales conversion. I developed and implemented SOPs to accurately track and audit our accounting and budgeting processes, thereby shortening our monthly end process. I fostered a team culture to deliver exceptional customer service, resulting in numerous high-end sales closures and robust business partnerships. I effectively operated on Yelp, Google, Facebook, and various other social media platforms to amass over 10,000 customer contacts, netting a 5-star review rating where we consistently delivered an exceptional experience.
