about.

I started my career at the intersection of IT and cybersecurity. During my time at George Mason University, I became fascinated by how technology could secure and scale businesses. My first real-world experience came at Navy Federal Credit Union, where I managed IT governance and vulnerability management for thousands of employees.

the pivot to growth

While technical security was meaningful, I realized I wanted to understand how products actually reach and engage users. This led me to my internship at the Institute for Defense Analyses, where I combined security with strategic thinking. But the real turning point came when I joined Khaana as a Growth & Marketing Lead.

At Khaana, I learned that growth isn't just marketing—it's engineering. I built acquisition loops, launched community initiatives, and discovered what drives user retention in a B2C space. This experience fundamentally changed how I approach problems: not as siloed engineering tasks, but as interconnected systems.

solutions at scale

Today, I work as a Solutions Engineer at Arrow Electronics, supporting enterprises with Nutanix hybrid cloud and edge computing solutions. I bridge the gap between technical architects and business stakeholders, translating complex infrastructure challenges into actionable solutions. I also continue my security work at the Institute for Defense Analyses, combining cybersecurity with strategic thinking.

what drives me

I'm drawn to problems where engineering meets strategy. Whether it's designing scalable solutions for enterprise customers, building growth loops for startups, or securing critical infrastructure, I thrive when I can see the full picture: the technical implementation, the business impact, and the user experience.

My goal is to build, secure, and scale—creating products and systems that matter.
