Bridging the gap between engineering and enterprise — one elegant solution at a time.
About
I started my career as a software engineer in the aerospace and defense industry, writing full-stack web applications and low-level C code at companies like Northrop Grumman and Equation1. I also spent time in the startup space building custom manufacturing software solutions.
I transitioned into Solutions Engineering because I wanted to be the face and voice customers hear when evaluating the products built by engineering and product teams. Today, as a Senior Solutions Engineer at GitHub, I architect technical solutions for enterprise accounts and deliver live demonstrations of GitHub Copilot and GitHub Advanced Security.
What drives me is the belief that there is always more to learn in technology — the pursuit of mastering your craft is never-ending. I'm based in San Diego, California.
