A single point of contact across the full stack.

I help companies solve engineering problems that cross discipline boundaries, from RF signal chains and embedded firmware through to cloud architecture and edge AI deployment, across defense, aerospace, healthcare, and industrial sectors.

Background

Most firms make you hire three specialists, an embedded engineer, a cloud architect, and an AI/ML team, and then pay a project manager to make them talk to each other.

I have spent the last seven years working at the intersection of all three, on projects where the path from a sensor all the way to a cloud dashboard had to be designed by one person who understood every layer.

I work in W-2 and consulting capacities, take on projects of varying scope, and am experienced operating under NDAs and within regulated, compliance-driven environments.

Working together

Every engagement starts with understanding the actual problem, not the assumed solution. You get a clear statement of work with defined deliverables, milestones, and cost estimates, then working code, tested hardware, and documented architecture.

7+Years of professional engineering experience across embedded, cloud, and software domains.
3Major cloud platforms with deep expertise in regulated and federal environments.
150TB+Clinical data migrated across healthcare cloud transformation engagements.
40%MTTR reduction through SRE practices and observability improvements at enterprise scale.

Capabilities

I take on engagements where the problem spans more than one domain. Most clients come to me because the work requires someone who can hold the full technical picture without handoff gaps.
