About Me

I’m a senior technical engineering leader and equity advocate with nearly three decades of experience spanning public health research, software engineering, and advocacy for marginalized communities. I combine deep technical knowledge with a heart for people, and I’ve built career leading teams, created scalable infrastructure, and drove institutional change—from the server room to the state legislature.
