I am an active Secret Security Clearance Software Engineer with a bachelor’s in computer science and over 4 years of programming experience in both military and civilian sectors. I’ve engineered and programmed automations into the research test cycle, increasing the speed of test data acquisition by 20% while keeping personnel safe from testing hazards. I’m looking to collaborate, learn, and contribute to growing software solutions and technologies. I’m passionate about applying software engineering to high-impact projects, continuously improving systems, and mentoring teams to deliver robust results. I enjoy solving complex problems at the intersection of robotics, data analytics, and defense-grade software, and I’m eager to contribute to innovative solutions across development programs.
