Professional Philosophy

Technology should enable and empower, not restrict. My approach combines cutting-edge AI/ML solutions with rigorous security controls to create platforms that are both innovative and secure. I believe in infrastructure as code, automation-first thinking, and building systems that scale with the business.

From my military background, I learned the importance of discipline, strategic planning, and mission focus. Combined with years of enterprise experience, I bring a unique perspective that balances innovation with reliability, security with usability, and strategy with execution.
