Close Up

What I Do

I explore creative and innovative solutions and ways to use my company's cloud portfolio. I research new technologies and investigate integration opportunities.

Why STEM?

I always loved science and math...and puzzle solving. I have an analytical mind and intellectual curiosity. Engineering allows me to engage all of these at once.

School Days

For high school, I majored in CS at Brooklyn Technical High School so I knew what I wanted to do even then (BTHS '92 CS)

I hold a BS in Computer Science from the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech). I specialized in software engineering and telecommunications and minored in micro-computer based design (EE).

Volunteer Opportunities

I am willing to be contacted by educators for possible speaking engagements in schools or in after school programs or summer camps., I am willing to serve as science fair judge or other temporary volunteer at a local school., I am willing to be interviewed by interested students via email.
