Background

Researcher, engineer, and educator with a Ph.D. in Electrical & Computer Engineering. I specialize in bridging the gap between academic research and production systems — building AI solutions that work at enterprise scale.

Currently leading data science and AI initiatives for a federal government agency, advising on ML strategy, and collaborating with academic institutions on applied research. Previously a university lecturer in systems engineering, embedded systems, and data science, with published work in cyber-physical systems, fault detection, and network simulation.
