01 — Background

Experience & Education

A decade-plus track record across motor vehicle administration systems, healthcare IT, cybersecurity operations, cloud infrastructure, and enterprise engineering — and now, AI startup founding.

About

I build systems that don't fail — and I secure the infrastructure that powers them.

Over 11+ years I've designed, deployed, and hardened enterprise-grade cloud, reliability, and security architectures across government, healthcare, aviation, and technology sectors.

Currently a Senior Site Reliability Engineer at AAMVA (American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators) — supporting the reliability, observability, and incident response posture of systems used by motor vehicle and law enforcement agencies across the U.S. and Canada.

Previously at MedStar Health — one of the largest not-for-profit health systems in the US — where I architected HIPAA-compliant, high-availability platforms across 10 hospitals and 300+ care locations (Sep 2023 – May 2026).

I'm also the Founder & CEO of MergeAI — an AI-powered unified workspace with 12,000+ early adopters on the waitlist pre-launch.

"Reliability and security aren't separate disciplines — they're two views of the same engineering discipline: building systems that behave predictably under stress."
