About Me

Before transitioning into the tech and data world, I served in the United States Marine Corps and worked as a firefighter. Those experiences shaped how I approach problems today and instilled discipline under pressure, a strong sense of teamwork, and the ability to stay calm and analytical when stakes are high. That mindset continues to guide how I work with data, systems, and complex decision making environments.

I am naturally curious and continuously seek out ways to sharpen my skills.
