"The best technologists are also builders of people."
By day, I'm a Senior Software Engineer at Malwarebytes — full-stack technical lead on distributed systems, AI integrations, and cross-team architecture.
Outside of work, I co-founded Ignite Leadership as CTO — a Colorado Springs organization developing leaders across education, faith, and community sectors. I built the platform, lead the tech vision, and help grow the people.
"Knowledge without action is just entertainment."
