About
I work on systems where failure has a real cost. At Iconic Air, field technicians record methane-leak surveys at remote sites with no signal, and those records decide whether an operator meets its Clean Air Act obligations. At Plugin, hundreds of devices in bars and restaurants have to stay online and up to date without anyone on site to fix them.
I started in enterprise banking at Oracle, moved into research software at West Virginia University, and now lead architecture across mobile, backend and device software. I also review applied-AI research for medical informatics journals and judge AI hackathons.
