Strategic direction
I set the direction, prioritize through both an enterprise and product owner lens, get the right people involved, and work with the team all the way through implementation.
Federal digital transformation / mission systems / applied AI
I look at the business need first, then figure out the technology, people, and investment needed to solve it.
I’m a GS-14 program manager and COR III at FDA. I work across strategy, architecture, acquisition, and delivery to push modern technology forward. That means proving it makes business sense to build it. Building my own products keeps me hands-on with the technology and close to the work of actually shipping something.

Operating range
I strip away the buzzwords, find the actual problem, and work from there. Before spending money on technology, I look at what we can simplify, change, or stop doing altogether.
I take mission priorities and connect them to the investment, acquisition, architecture, and product decisions needed to move forward. I know where those pieces overlap, where they get stuck, and who to bring together to get things done.
Technical judgment
I look past the technical solution itself, challenge the assumptions behind it, and connect the decisions back to the mission and business need.
Delivery accountability
I establish clear ownership, address problems early, and keep teams and vendors focused on building something that actually works for the people using it.
Vendor leadership
I’ve led complex vendor environments for years, from onboarding new teams to coordinating multiple vendors, subcontractors, and projects running at the same time.
Flagship product / live on the App Store
TutorialRepo
I created TutorialRepo and took it from concept to the App Store. It is a real product, not a portfolio mockup.
The app brings tutorials, practice, review, and progress tracking into one place. The first full course prepares learners for the AWS Solutions Architect Associate exam. I designed the product to support more courses without starting over each time.
I direct the work end to end: product strategy, experience and content architecture, technical direction, subscriptions, AWS delivery, App Store releases, and the publishing system behind the content.

Applied AI / inside the firewall
I use AI constantly, across everything I work on.
I orchestrate multiple agents across research, analysis, development, and decision-making to multiply what I can get done.
I led the integration of an in-boundary LLM into CTP research tracking applications. It checks project abstracts against the coding manual, shows the evidence behind its recommendations, and flags disagreements. FDA reviewers make the final call.
See how it works01
Constrain the task
Analyze against an authoritative manual—not an open-ended prompt.
02
Show the evidence
Return supporting snippets and discrepancy flags with each recommendation.
03
Preserve accountability
Use AI to narrow the discussion; keep decision authority with reviewers.
04
Fit the environment
Operate within the agency boundary and the existing review process.
The through-line
Do the work. Ship something useful.
Air Force veteran. Computer Science graduate. MBA. GS-14 program manager and COR III. I’ve spent more than 20 years in federal technology. I know how programs get stuck, how vendors drift, and how good technical decisions get lost. I expect technology investments to produce something useful and justify what they cost. I also know how to get the work moving again.
