About

At Microsoft, I work with State & Local Government agencies, empowering them with digital solutions on the Power Platform. Outside of work, I'm driven by a passion for building - whether it's AI agents that reason and act, quadcopter drones that stabilize themselves mid-air, or 3D-printed rovers that explore autonomously.
