About

With a robust foundation in Computer Science and Mathematics from Angelo State University and a Master's degree from Oregon Health & Science University, I have cultivated a dynamic career in software engineering and architecture. Currently serving as a Software Engineering Manager & Architect at General Motors, I lead teams in enhancing product development and innovation. My journey at General Motors began in 2016, where I progressed from a Senior Software Development Team Lead to a Senior Solutions Architect, and now to my current role. My expertise includes designing complex software solutions and managing architectural decisions. Prior to General Motors, I was a Principal Software Engineer at Epicor Software, where I specialized in web development and UI design. My career is marked by a commitment to aligning technical solutions with business objectives and mentoring emerging talent in the field.
