Systems Engineer & Solutions Architect with 15+ years turning complex business problems into clear, scalable systems.

📍 Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas

Professional profile

Systems Thinking,Human Outcomes

I’m a systems engineer and solutions architect who works at the intersection of commerce, product information, and organizational change. I design practical, scalable systems for brands and retailers—connecting platforms such as Salsify, Akeneo, and Bynder to the broader commerce stack.

Across 15+ years of work, I’ve moved from hands-on full-stack development to enterprise implementation, staff engineering, innovation leadership, and deeply consultative solution design. I still like being close to the work: building apps, integrations, and automations that remove friction for real teams.

My graduate work in public administration—and my service on Burleson’s Planning & Zoning Commission—shapes how I approach technology: systems matter, but so do the people, institutions, and communities living with their consequences.
