My current focus is on pioneering groundbreaking technologies that directly benefit our warfighters and address critical operational challenges. My mission is to build solutions that go beyond expensive toys and can be deployed at scale with true tactical effectiveness. Prior to this, I served as Chief Technology Officer at Exocetus Autonomous Systems, leading a team of engineers in the development of robotics proof of concepts and prototypes for defense-related organizations. I am also the Founder of Curiosity Innovations and JoyMotion, where I have led teams in developing AI/ML-based apps for the healthcare and golf industries.

I am a highly skilled and experienced leader in the aerospace and technology industries, with a strong background in engineering, program management, and systems design. I hold a Master of Business Administration from Yale School of Management, as well as advanced degrees in Computer Science (Cloud Computing and Machine Learning), Aerospace Engineering (Aerodynamics), and Test & Evaluation from Johns Hopkins University, the University of Maryland, and the United States Naval Test Pilot School, respectively.

In my previous role as a Weapons Systems Officer and Engineering Test Flight Officer in the United States Navy, I demonstrated exceptional leadership and program management skills, leading multiple defense industry teams and developing strong client relationships. I have received numerous accolades for my outstanding performance, including the Test Flight Officer of the Year award in 2017, and have been awarded the Air Medal for Combat (three times), Navy Commendation Medal, and Navy Achievement Medal.

I am proficient in various programming languages, including Java, Python, JavaScript, C++, Dart, and Go, and am well-versed in the latest technologies in cloud computing, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. I am a dedicated and innovative leader with a strong track record of combining technical knowledge with execution and leadership in military and civilian organizations.
