About

Executive presence.
Builder mindset.

I'm most energized when I'm building at the edge of AI, cloud, and infrastructure, but my work has never just been about the technology. It's about creating real business impact, setting direction, and helping teams execute with clarity and confidence.

I'm an AWS Ambassador and three-time award winner, including Top Global Ambassador in 2023 and #1 in North America in both 2022 and 2024. I hold all 12 AWS certifications alongside credentials across Azure, Kubernetes, and GCP, totaling 30+.

I love building teams just as much as I love building systems. I write and share openly about agentic AI, MLOps, cloud architecture, and the systems behind reliable software. I've spoken at AWS Summits on topics ranging from mainframe modernization to real-time AI inference, and I maintain 50+ open source repositories on GitHub.

Before tech, I served in the United States Marine Corps, earning two meritorious promotions. That discipline, ownership mindset, and bias for action still shape how I build, lead, and show up.
