Intro

Hello and welcome to my website!

In April 2019, I joined Raytheon as a Systems Engineer I, where I contributed to the development of Logistics Management Information (LMI) databases for several international clients. This involved managing large datasets and required strong attention to detail. Over time, I became proficient in this area and eventually led a team in the Patriot Foreign Military Sales (FMS) program, where I was responsible for budgeting hours and managing personnel. This managerial experience broadened my skill set and provided a new perspective on project leadership. In February 2021, I was promoted to Systems Engineer II, where I took on the challenge of leading material availability efforts for the Zumwalt program. Despite being new to this area, I applied my adaptability and commitment to learning, ultimately mastering this role and contributing to the program's success and efficiencies.

In October 2022, I transitioned to Oasis Systems, where I obtained a government secret security clearance and currently support the United States Air Force in qualifying commercial security systems for base installations nationwide. In addition to my work at Oasis, I pursued further education through MIT’s Professional Education Program in Applied Data Science. This 13-week course equipped me with practical knowledge of machine learning (ML) models in Python, which I found particularly fascinating. I have also earned the AWS Cloud Practitioner certification as well as the AWS Machine Learning Specialty certification to deepen my expertise in cloud computing and ML technologies.

I am confident that my background in engineering, project management, and data science would make me useful asset. I am also eager to further expand my knowledge and continue growing professionally.
