Solutions Architect at IBM focused on enterprise AI, analytics, automation, and system architecture. My path started in finance, moved through entrepreneurship, and became a technology career through persistence, problem-solving, and a deep love for learning by building.
I did not enter technology through the traditional front door. I started in finance, where I learned how businesses think, how decisions get made, and how important it is to explain complex ideas clearly. From there I stepped into entrepreneurship — founded and operated a moving and transportation company — and learned what it means to be accountable for customers, operations, cash flow, and people.
That experience made me more curious about the systems underneath every business. Eventually curiosity turned into commitment. I spent close to a year at a computer from sun up to sun down teaching myself JavaScript, building projects, breaking things, fixing them, and slowly learning how software is designed. I studied full-stack development, system architecture, APIs, databases, cloud patterns, and the discipline required to turn an idea into something that actually works.
That season changed the direction of my life. Technology became more than a skill set — it became the place where my problem-solving instincts, creative energy, and appetite for learning all made sense. I found that I enjoy the hard middle: understanding a messy business problem, mapping it to the right architecture, and helping move an idea from possibility to working solution.
Today I work as a Solutions Architect at IBM, helping customers explore and design enterprise AI, analytics, and automation solutions. I spend my time in discovery conversations, technical workshops, demos, pilots, and architecture discussions across agentic workflows, business automation, analytics, integrations, and the platform plumbing required to make those systems reliable. I also contribute to IBM's invention community as an IBM Master Inventor and chair of an invention discovery team.
I am proud of the progress I have made, but I still approach the work with the mindset that got me here: stay curious, keep learning, and build until the answer is clear. My path has not been linear, but it has made me adaptable, customer-focused, and comfortable living at the intersection of business, architecture, and hands-on technology.
The best technical work makes complicated systems easier for customers and teams to understand, trust, and operate.
I learn fastest by making things. Demos, prototypes, and pilots reveal constraints that diagrams and slide decks can miss.
My finance and entrepreneurship background taught me that architecture only matters when it helps a real person solve a real problem.
The year I spent teaching myself software still shapes how I work: keep showing up, keep debugging, keep moving.
Technology changes quickly. I try to bring enough experience to lead, enough humility to listen, and enough curiosity to keep improving.
