Professional Summary

I've developed over a decade of experience in transforming corporate assets into drivers of business intelligence that delivers market, manufacturing, and industry data into actionable insights.


Through the Marine Corps, I honed a sense of pride and accomplishment in delivering the absolute best results which I've carried into my post-military career. Starting with a data science team at Fruit of the Loom, I gained the knowledge of what metrics matter and what analysts and executives need to make big decisions. Leaning into my lifelong passion for software development and my technical degree in electrical engineering and mathematics, I've taken on the responsibility of doing the complex back-end work required to bring business intelligence to the front lines.


Whether as a self-directed product engineer or integrated into a project team, I'm a force multiplier in bringing vision to life.
