Principal Engineer with 20+ years designing and scaling real-time distributed data and AI platforms across cybersecurity, enterprise SaaS, public safety, and large-scale digital infrastructure.

I architect systems that operate at trillions-of-events scale under adversarial, mission-critical conditions. My work sits at the intersection of real-time streaming architectures, AI-native threat detection, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and agentic AI systems.

Across my career at CrowdStrike, HubSpot, Dataminr, Axon, ADP, and MLB Advanced Media, I have held Principal Engineer, Staff Engineer, and Director-level roles — the most senior individual-contributor and technical leadership designations in the industry. At each, I held platform-level ownership, shaping how data and intelligence systems are engineered, scaled, and secured.

I am a selected member of the Forbes Technology Council and a senior member of the IEEE.
