About Me

I'm a Solutions Architect and Business Analyst who transforms organizational chaos into operational excellence. Currently serving as the first BA in United Wholesale Mortgage's Client Engineering vertical, I've pioneered Agile transformation across 5 teams (50+ members) while building production systems that solve real problems for technical teams.

I don't just document requirements—I architect solutions and build them. From developing a full-stack LMS serving 50+ technicians to reducing enterprise vulnerabilities by 99.7% across 12,000+ endpoints, I bridge the gap between business strategy and technical execution. My approach combines military precision from my service as an Army Reserve Sergeant with deep technical capability in modern development stacks.

What sets me apart is my ability to see broken systems, design sustainable solutions, and execute despite resistance. Whether it's eliminating triple-entry documentation workflows, building governance frameworks from scratch, or creating knowledge bases that become the most-utilized resources in the organization, I deliver measurable impact. I hold an active Secret Clearance and bring a unique combination of technical execution, process transformation, and cross-functional leadership to every challenge.

Solutions Architecture

Design and build production systems from requirements through deployment. Created full-stack LMS (AVTEP) with 46 modules, Azure Virtual Desktop frameworks, and automated workflows that save 150+ hours monthly.

Process Transformation

Transform manual, fragmented operations into streamlined Agile workflows. Pioneered BA function for Client Engineering vertical, eliminating redundant documentation and establishing governance structures that drive accountability.

Technical Team Leadership

Lead cross-functional teams through complex transformations with military precision. Manage technical teams, coordinate enterprise migrations (12K+ endpoints), and mentor colleagues in Agile methodology and critical thinking.

Enterprise Security & Compliance

Drive enterprise-wide security initiatives with measurable impact. Led vulnerability remediation reducing threats by 99.7% (80K→267), coordinated Windows 11 migration, and maintain Active Secret Clearance for sensitive environments.

Professional Experience

A track record of technical leadership, business analysis, and operational excellence.
