Career Interests
I’m a technology leader with more than 25 years of experience managing application development teams and large-scale IT projects for state government. I’m most interested in work that combines technical leadership with business strategy: managing budgets, vendors, and compliance, modernizing systems, and building teams that deliver. I’m currently completing a business degree to strengthen that foundation, and long term I plan to start my own food company.
