I help government organizations adopt practical AI capabilities without sacrificing the security, compliance, and operational rigor their missions require.

I'm a full-stack engineer at Deloitte focused on Generative AI application development and modern platform work for government clients.

Most recently, I designed and built a custom Generative AI application that converts large volumes of organizational documentation into structured competency models. The system runs on AWS Bedrock with Claude and incorporates careful prompt engineering, retrieval patterns, and human-in-the-loop validation to produce traceable, auditable outputs suitable for public sector use.

My platform experience includes ServiceNow, where I specialize in integration and custom development on the HRSD platform. This work has involved delivering high-visibility implementations under tight timelines while meeting complex compliance and operational requirements.

That platform experience builds on a strong foundation in large-scale infrastructure modernization, secure cloud environments, and service development. I tend to approach AI systems with the same engineering discipline I apply to infrastructure: they need to be observable, versionable, testable, and maintainable by real teams over time.

Active Security Clearance

Prior to my current role, I spent several years as a Full-Stack Web Developer at Katmai Government Services. I began by modernizing in-house line-of-business applications and gradually took on broader responsibilities as the de facto cloud architect, database administrator, DevSecOps engineer, and site reliability contributor. Key work included building and operating a production Kubernetes cluster on bare metal (VMware/vSphere) for over six years, managing a GitLab Enterprise instance, administering SQL Server, MySQL, and PostgreSQL databases, containerizing applications, and migrating workloads into secure Azure GCC High environments under FedRAMP, NIST, and CMMC compliance frameworks. I also contributed to open-source projects including AMP and Kubernetes.io, with a consistent focus on security, accessibility (Section 508), and long-term maintainability.

I'm currently completing an M.S. in Data Science at the University of Colorado Boulder with a focus on applied machine learning and responsible AI deployment.

Community Involvement
Open Source Contributions

Starting in early 2016, I began contributing to some of my favorite open source projects on GitHub. Lately I've been slacking on making any substantial contributions to good open source projects. Additionally, I've become a little paranoid about what I make available on platforms such as GitHub. Its important to help other developers so I'll try to do better.

  • Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP): Contributed to early guidelines and worked on original templates for faster web performance.
  • Kubernetes.io: Addressed Docker port assignment issues on MacOS in early versions of Docker.
