Systems Builder
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers | Innovator of the Year 2022
I'm a GIS and systems builder focused on situational awareness — turning complex data into tools people actually use.
I started in GIS because maps are more than visuals; they're interfaces for understanding the real world. Over time, that evolved into building full systems: dashboards used by senior military leadership, mobile security platforms, IoT command centers, and operational tools for small businesses.
My side projects scratch the itch to build end-to-end solutions — from identifying a real problem, to designing the data model, to shipping something useful. Whether it's security SaaS, farm operations software, or automation tooling, the common thread is making systems clearer, faster, and more actionable.
I'm most excited by problems where software, data, and the physical world intersect — security, infrastructure, logistics, and operations at scale.
The same methodology, applied across defense, enterprise, and operations.
Sit with the users. Feel the friction. Understand what's actually happening, not what's documented.
Watched guards struggle with paper logs and text-based reporting — no structure, no accountability.
Break the problem into solvable pieces. Identify what's core vs. noise.
Separated flood inundation data from legal interpretations — automated the former, preserved the latter for experts.
Prototype fast. Use the simplest tools that work. Don't over-engineer before validation.
Started with spreadsheets, evolved to custom tracking software only after validating the data model.
Get it in real hands. A dashboard no one uses is worthless — adoption is the metric.
INDOPACOM dashboard received thousands of views and was handed to a dedicated maintainer.
Measure what matters. Listen to feedback. Improve based on reality, not assumptions.
Continuously refined label generation based on actual store workflows and edge cases.
An operational, map-centric dashboard supporting U.S. infrastructure projects under the EDCA agreement, tracking project locations, status, and operational context across the Philippines during active deployment operations.
The dashboard became a primary situational awareness tool for leadership, receiving thousands of views during active operations. Its operational value was underscored when it was handed off to a dedicated INDOPACOM maintainer — a rare distinction for a field-deployed tool.
"Designed and deployed an operational dashboard for INDOPACOM that provided real-time spatial awareness of EDCA projects across the Philippines. The system was used by USACE, INDOPACOM, HQ, and Army leadership."

GS-07 → GS-12 in 2 years. Sustained recognition across deployments.
End-to-end systems built to solve real problems — from identifying the gap to shipping working software.
Security teams rely on paper logs, text messages, and generic form tools — resulting in incomplete reports, poor accountability, and no real-time visibility.
Built a mobile-first security operations platform with structured incident reporting, guard activity tracking, and role-based access control.
Architected for multi-tenant deployment, designed for firms managing distributed guard forces
Off-grid RV operations lack real-time visibility into environmental conditions, energy systems, and positional awareness.

I've built operational systems under real constraints —for military commands, small businesses, and my own ventures.
I'm looking for roles where I can deploy into ambiguous environments, work directly with operators, and build systems that matter.
