I'm an engineer at heart, which means I live for solving hard problems. But being a great engineer isn't just about finding the solution—it's about getting people to actually use it. There's nothing like that moment when you've built something that not only works but becomes indispensable—like the automated data-processing program I developed that saved over $1.5 million, or the analytics platform now used by 40,000+ industry engineers and leaders worldwide.
What drives me is working alongside razor-sharp, mission-focused people on problems that actually matter. Over seven years at Boeing, I've become obsessed with bridging the gap between engineering brilliance and business impact. I've seen too many incredible technical solutions gather dust because nobody could explain their value to the people who needed them. Whether I'm presenting fleet analytics to airline executives or leading a team of 11 data scientists, I'm constantly translating between worlds—making sure that breakthrough innovations actually break through.
I'm drawn to teams where I can combine rigorous problem-solving with real collaboration and impact. Looking ahead, I want to keep tackling the kind of high-stakes challenges that keep me energized, working with people who care as much about the mission as I do.
