As Principal Solutions Architect supporting the U.S. Army’s XM30 Infantry Fighting Vehicle (IFV) program, I led the design and deployment of AI-defined digital engineering architectures that transformed how complex defense systems are conceived, evaluated, and governed. This work delivered an end-to-end AI platform—integrating data, models, analytics, and human decision authority—to compress decision timelines, expand analytical fidelity, and improve executive confidence in billion-dollar lifecycle decisions.

Leadership comes in all forms, with inspiring people and serving others at its foundation. In a technology-driven world where human interaction is often reduced to digital communications, the significance of empathy-based leadership stands out more than ever. As a leader at the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI), the United States Marine Corps, and in my local community, I have witnessed firsthand how empathy fosters trust, resilience, and team cohesion.

Architectural development and technical product management to advance enterprise decision-making in defense sustainment. 

As the lead instructor and curriculum architect for Fundamentals of Modern Systems Engineering, I led a complete modernization of Georgia Tech’s foundational systems engineering course—transforming outdated material, legacy frameworks, and static lecture methods into a modern, applied, and industry-relevant learning experience. This redesign strengthened the program’s alignment with contemporary systems engineering practices, elevated instructional quality, and introduced hands-on technical rigor suitable for today’s engineering challenges.
