About

Orchestrating a portfolio of CI initiatives and new products, APIs that deliver ongoing value. Specializing in AI risk management, system software and applications. A self-starter in opportunity discovery, ROI metrics & bridging gaps between planning & execution. AI transformed my pilots in 2024, and I made a shift in 2025 to push it further across more functions and to plumb data silos. I use it in a sandbox for operations, finance, and engineering data to gain insights. Also, to navigate nuances in compliance and law. On the cutting edge of NotebookLM, Microsoft Azure, and the Claude toolchain. I read papers and learn aboutrisk, architecture, trade-offs, and evaluationof emerging models & operating costs. I am experimenting A2A and instrumenting execution, logs for traceability/audit. I have a Master's degree with ITIL, Situational Leadership KB, PMP, CSM, NPD, Negotiation CK, Sales (CSP, PSS) training, & certs. I thrive at risk reduction, adding certainty (quality/readiness), and creating value for my customers and stakeholders. I have a track record of delivering profitable products and systems, holding trade secrets and invention disclosures, contributing to advisory boards, mentoring programs, winning awards, & recognition for my work. My mission is to balance innovation with pragmatism and empathy, and to streamline workflows securely. I endeavor to produce benchmarks of quality and consistency, thus co-creating value for the stakeholders. I have experience in Automation, Energy, Water, Supply chain, Power systems, and Physical chemistry. I have managed capital projects with a TIC of $15M+ USD, consisting of 18 employees and contractors over 2 years, creating annual budgets and assisting with capital forecasts from 2 to 7 years. Formerly with Arm, NASA, and a F500.
