My first comic strip, inspired by our growing tendency to trust AI-generated content without questioning the fine print, where confidence often grows faster than verification in the age of AI.
I'm a technologist, systems thinker, and software leader with experience spanning mission-critical Space Shuttle software, mobile and embedded platforms, large-scale distributed systems, and applied AI/ML. My career has included organizations such as NASA, IBM, Alcatel-Lucent, Amazon, high-growth startups, and SHI International.
I focus on building resilient technology, scalable systems, and high-performing engineering teams for real-world environments, where complexity, scale, and decision quality directly shape outcomes. Throughout my career, one principle has remained constant: engineering excellence includes thinking about both capability and consequence. The systems we build do not exist in isolation; they shape the people, organizations, and societies that depend on them.
I'm the author of two books on mobile development, hold six granted patents, and remain active in the professional community, including helping establish ACM Austin as a co-organizer.
I write about technology, systems, artificial intelligence, leadership, decision-making, and the discipline required to build software and organizations that scale, endure, and create lasting value.
