Technology redefines our work, our school, and our play. Never has that been more true than as we look towards the next generation of autonomous & intelligent systems. And never has it been more important for us all to work together in manifesting the best version of the world together. Our societies and economies have structures which benefit certain persons while leaving others behind, but our world only thrives when we carry everyone forward together.

I work to enable advanced technology adoption among innovators across all disciplines. With two decades of experience in high performance computing, I have watched and worked as these technologies enabled previously-impossible breakthroughs and led us up the cresting wave of artificial intelligence. I bring a proven ability to thoughtfully gather stakeholders, simplify complex technological projects, and deliver new capabilities in usable forms. I'm dedicated to partnering with leaders, faculty, researchers, and professionals as we navigate these rapidly-changing waters to unlock new transformative capabilities.

Throughout my life, I've fostered a passion for the sciences and the unknown mysteries of the universe. From the smallest scales to the largest scales, we rely on our technological tools to gain understanding, to teach each other new concepts, and to prosper in daily life. These tools are growing in capability and complexity - in their ability to accelerate both helps and harms - which necessitates the need for each of us to lean towards the good that we wish for the world. And for the wisdom to know when/where/how technology should be applied.
