From First Responder to Cloud Architect.

After a distinguished 25-year career protecting the citizens of Baltimore as a firefighter and EMT, I transitioned into the world of technology—driven by the same passion for service and problem-solving that defined my time in emergency services.

Today, I architect scalable cloud solutions on AWS and administer Salesforce ecosystems for organizations ranging from the Department of Veterans Affairs to healthcare enterprises. My unique background brings a rare combination of calm-under-pressure leadership, meticulous attention to detail, and a relentless drive to learn.

I'm a lifelong learner with Trailhead Ranger status—237+ badges, 115,700+ points, and counting. When I'm not deep-diving into cloud architecture or Salesforce automations, you'll find me cycling with my family, exploring new places, and engaging with the community.
