Experience

Staff Aerospace Software Engineer and technical leader with 25+ years delivering mission-critical software across national security, aerospace, NASA, and enterprise environments. Leads cross-program engineering across multiple teams, shared repositories, partner organizations, and deployment environments while remaining hands-on in Python, distributed systems, integration, and developer tooling. Builds the engineering systems - architecture, CI/CD, DevSecOps, testing, release governance, and standards - that enable teams to deliver reliable software at scale.

Career

The common thread has been software that matters operationally — first enterprise systems, then NASA science platforms, and now aerospace mission software.
