At Workato, I work with companies in the Embedded space to turn integration debt into a competitive advantage. Whether a team is trying to accelerate their roadmap, reduce churn, or launch native integrations without draining engineering resources, I help them find the fastest path to doing it at scale. Increasingly, that also means helping teams think through how AI agents and MCP fit into their product architecture before their competitors do. I care about helping SaaS teams build things that last, not duct-tape solutions that break at scale. Right now, nothing is moving faster than agentic AI, and the product teams that figure out how to govern and orchestrate AI workflows inside their platform are going to have a real edge. That's where a lot of my thinking lives. Outside of work you'll never know where you might catch me, whether that's at a music festival 🎶, on the trail 🏔️, flying swarm drones 🎆, on the catwalk (represented by CatheXis Talent) 📸, volunteering at MetroCaring 🍎 roller skating 🛼, playing the ukulele on WAFF48 🎸, filming a music video (got my first IMDB credits this year 😎), or maybe even enjoying some peace and quiet at the wonderful Central Denver Public Library 📚. My biggest passion is my community and friends. 👫
Lead design engineer on an integrated sUAS system from prototype thru production. Created, implemented, and actively maintained project management system from scratch for hardware engineering team based on SCRUM and Agile methodologies. Delegated tasks across multiple teams to ensure project execution in a smooth and timely manner. Scheduled and facilitated SCRUM ceremonies, creating an agenda, meeting minutes, and visual reports of project progress. Integral to the design, assembly, integration, and testing of custom sUAS airborne and GCS systems supporting DoD-aligned missions. Supported multiple field deployments, managed drone mission setup, operation, data analysis, and maintenance at multiple locations including Fort Irwin for 2 weeks. Acted as a liaison across hardware, software, production, operations, and external vendors to drive project execution. Represented the hardware team in root cause analysis, thoroughly reading flight data logs and creating comprehensive reports to support quality team in repair workflows (FDLRs). Worked closely with multiple vendors to create custom solutions for our government customers.
Conducted trade studies to expand manufacturing capabilities on production floor. Created and reviewed engineering drawings, with GD&T best practices in mind. Participated in multiple material studies to design for thermal management of electronics in harsh environments. Developed clear and comprehensive technical documentation and work instructions for production and engineering teams. Earned Part 107 license and participated in field testing of sUAS swarm assets.
Entrusted as sole wiring harness fabricator on production floor. Fabricated over 1000+ wiring harnesses during this time. Began organizing the production floor and created the very first work instruction documents for flagship sUAS systems. Continued learning new production floor tooling and improving the sUAS production process.
