I have been very fortunate to have had the opportunities that both challenged me on a technical level and exposed me to the inner workings of some interesting organizations. When I started out in the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences at the University of Virginia, I never imagined my path would take me from working on flight simulators at NASA, through developing mobile applications on some of the first mobile computing platforms, to winning a Super Bowl ring in the NFL. These experiences have given me a unique perspective on technology and its place in a variety of industries. I am now enjoying helping companies use technology to improve their competitive advantage. Let me know how I can help you.
