About

I'm a Technical Program Manager at Microsoft with a passion for building impactful software solutions. My journey in tech began at CISA as an IT Specialist, and I've since grown through roles at Leidos and Microsoft.

I hold a Master's in Computer Science from George Mason University with a focus in Artificial Intelligence. I push boundaries and ship products that matter.

Beyond code, I'm a writer and strategic thinker. I create video essays, write short stories, and share insights on technology and investment strategies. Always building, always learning.
