Platform engineer and technical delivery leader with 12+ years in federal and commercial environments. Passionate about AI, leading teams, and shipping things that work.
I am an AI-First Technical Agile Delivery Professional with 12+ years of experience across federal and commercial environments. My role is deliberately dual — I lead delivery and I build things. I do not manage from the sideline.
I have hands-on experience with Python, Kubernetes, Helm, and Terraform. I believe in using the best available tools, automating the observation layer, and making output visible to the whole team.
I explore and build with AI tools on my own time — learning by doing, with a focus on practical applications across development and delivery.
Outside of work I am a single father and a football coach with a record of winning in two states. I bring the same accountability and long-range thinking to every team I touch, whether that team is on a field or in a sprint.
I have been on both sides of the delivery lifecycle — the engineer who ships and the lead who manages the stakeholder relationship. The best delivery happens when technical credibility and trust exist in the same person.
I have been coaching youth football for over 16 years. Four championships — three in Texas, one in Virginia — and a runner-up finish last fall that confirmed the program is still on the right trajectory. Winning across two different states, with different kids, different resources, and different cultures, taught me something important: systems and culture travel. Individual talent does not.
I am a single father raising my children with the same values I coach. Accountability. Consistency. Building something that outlasts the moment you are in. Those are not soft values to me — they are operational principles.
Everything I build professionally is informed by the same mindset: build systems that teach, document what works, and leave the next person better than you found them.
I founded Legacy Seven United in Virginia to connect the programs I have built across two states. In Texas I co-founded Frisco Elite with Rob Washington. Legacy Seven United is the umbrella — giving kids in Texas more exposure and experiences, and doing the same for the kids here in Virginia.
Right now it is a brand and a mission. The long-term goal is 501(c)(3) status, but the work does not wait for paperwork. The same discipline I apply to platform architecture, applied to youth development.

This is a personal portfolio. If you have a role that might be a fit, I'd welcome the conversation.
