About me
I love building and fixing problems; efficiency is an art of its own. I'm a Fixer and Operator. I get brought in where there's no playbook: when a project is stalled, over budget, or has never been done before. I assess fast, build the plan, lead the team, and own the outcome end to end.
I'm an SI/AI-first operator. I run my work through AI every day, learn new platforms fast, and beta-test software to find where it breaks. Technology is how one person becomes a force multiplier. I've spent years shaping young lives at school sites, and now I want to multiply that impact at the largest scale: advancing humanity and doing whatever it takes to hit the mark.
Based in Bakersfield, CA, and open to relocating.
