#BIO

Professional Summary

I build the kinds of systems governments actually need —reliable enough to run in production, transparent enough to audit, and maintainable enough that a team can own them for years. To best serve Government clients I maintain an active security clearance.

With experience ranging from deep bare metal infrastructure, to front end optimization —running production Kubernetes clusters on bare metal to strategic react caching strategies —I was in a unique position to bring the same engineering discipline (observability, auditability, and long-term maintainability) to Generative AI and proprietary platforms at Deloitte.

I actively contribute to open-source projects and am completing an M.S. in Data Science at the University of Colorado Boulder (4.0 GPA) with a second master’s in Artificial Intelligence underway. I've recently open sourced projects focusing on multi-agent systems, ML observability, and accessibility.

Projects

  • TalentForge (Deloitte – GenAI Application)
    I was an early stage developer on TalentForge, taking the product from proof of concept to pilot with Government clients. This is a proprietary application built on AWS Bedrock with Claude that converts large volumes of client documentation into structured competency models.

    I performed a complete rewrite of the TalentTrace career pathing tool for federal healthcare client to align with new business requirements, contributing to an exceptional contract performance rating.

  • DAGonLayer (Open Source – Python)
    I built DAGonLayer, a lightweight async multi-agent orchestrator using declarative YAML blueprints, Pydantic validation, self-healing loops, and human intervention fallbacks (available on PyPI).
    DAGonLayer on GitHub (also on PyPI)

  • SnowBoots (Open Source – SCSS)
    I created SnowBoots, a drop-in CSS/SCSS enhancement layer for ServiceNow’s Bootstrap 3.3.6 that adds performance, theming, and WCAG AAA accessibility improvements without breaking legacy widgets.
