Welder, soldier, programmer, context engineer.

I hold a degree in Materials Science & Engineering from Iowa State, specializing in metals, polymers, and composites. I served six years as a combat engineer in the Iowa National Guard.

My career has moved across materials, automotive, manufacturing, software, and energy — not by design. Each domain surfaced a problem that required understanding the next one. That pattern is the whole point: the hardest opportunities sit in the coordination gaps no single specialization can close.

So I built an AI-native operations platform that pairs structured knowledge with large-language-model reasoning, and I run my practice on it. It compresses the research and analysis cycles a multi-domain project would otherwise need a team to execute.
