Building Systems & Shaping Futures

I specialize in crafting robust system architectures, engineering scalable solutions, and optimizing data pipelines. Since graduating from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in 2022, I have collaborated with multiple IC elements, including the DIA, NSA, and CIA, to deliver mission-critical applications. Leveraging tools such as Python, Go, Kubernetes, NiFi, Docker, ELK, and OpenSearch, I focus on driving efficiency and streamlining workflows. My experience spans leading multi-network integrations, automating large-scale data processing, and enhancing cloud deployments to meet stringent security standards.
