25+ years building enterprise data and AI solutions. Now directing that experience toward the communities and organizations that need it most.
Let's build a floor so strong, no one falls through.
About
I spent most of my career at Microsoft leading Data & AI strategy for state and local government — education analytics, child welfare systems, public-sector data modernization. I was good at it. I also kept asking why this level of technical capability wasn't being directed toward the organizations working hardest to help people.
In 2022 I made an intentional decision to find out. I stepped away from corporate leadership to spend time in the St. Louis community — building AI tools for nonprofits, hosting civic tech meetups, and volunteering with local schools.
I believe data and technology should create opportunity — not just optimize the systems of those who already have it.
Expertise
A career spent at the intersection of enterprise technology and real-world impact — leading large-scale data programs, government partnerships, and the people who build them.
Enterprise analytics, cloud architecture, and practical AI implementation across commercial and public-sector organizations at scale.
14 years partnering with state and local government — education reporting, child welfare analytics, public data accessibility, and civic tech engagement.
Building, developing, and managing distributed teams of engineers, data scientists, and solution architects in complex, mission-driven environments.
Translating complex technical concepts for any audience and delivering high-quality outcomes across executive, technical, and community stakeholders.
SQL, Python, Azure — and deep experience building the processes, documentation, and quality standards that make data reliable and usable.
Designing and deploying generative AI solutions from the ground up — from intelligent applications and automated workflows to the data infrastructure that makes them reliable, secure, and built to last. Deeply fluent in how these systems actually work, not just how to use them.
Making AI accessible to those who are having the greatest impact on our community.
