Recent career highlights include:

Defined and delivered AI‑driven tools that streamlined analytical workflows at Moody’s, reducing manual effort and decision time for global teams.
Led design system implementation for: Visa, Freedom Mobile and Blue Shield CA products, improving consistency, accessibility, and design–engineering handoff at scale.
Founded and grew a design consultancy supporting startups and Fortune 500 organizations, guiding them from vague problem statements to launched, measurable solutions.

Primary focus: Senior product/design leadership roles in advanced mobility (VTOL, EVs), aerospace systems, and AI‑driven tools.

For the past decade, I have led strategy, design, and implementation for products used by millions of customers and thousands of internal users. This work spans AI‑assisted workflows, enterprise design systems, and early‑stage R&D for complex, safety‑critical domains. I am now looking to apply that experience to aerospace engineering, advanced vehicles (eVTOLs), and next‑generation energy systems.
