Based in Denver, Colorado
I combine hands-on technical work with collaboration—understanding what people need, finding a way forward, and taking responsibility for delivery.
Independently, I build and launch software products. At Protect3 Solutions, I build and lead engineering teams, managing the delivery of cybersecurity services and implementations.

The offering had been sold; the technical solution still needed to be built. I architected the platform, built its federated-search integration, and developed the engineering team and delivery operation as the service grew from 1 to 16 customers.

Case studyEngineering leadership
& independent product work
I’m drawn to problems that need a way forward. Sometimes that means designing and building a product. Sometimes it means bringing architecture, people, and service delivery together.
At Protect3 Solutions, I lead engineers and consultants across federal and commercial cybersecurity engagements. My earlier work in Air Force contracting and regulated commercial agreements grounds that work in customer needs, clear communication, and accountability.
