I build the software that runs factories, labs and missions, and the teams that keep it running.

Today I lead a 10-person, multi-team software organization at Divergent, an additive manufacturer serving automotive and aerospace & defense programs. Before that: AI search at NASA JPL, secure video for defense, and platform engineering at scale.
