Cum Laude
Maker Mindset
The instinct that shows up in every role: see something broken, build something better.
Builder First
When a workflow is broken, the instinct is to build the fix — not just document the problem. The print-vendor automation started as a side project before it became policy.
Automate the Boring Parts
Agentic AI workflows and prompt engineering aren't a hobby bolted onto the day job — they're the same process-improvement mindset applied to a new toolset.
Ship, Then Refine
A drafter-reviewer mentality: get a working version in front of real stakeholders, gather feedback, and iterate — rather than perfecting in isolation.
Interests
Boating & the Outdoors
Time on the water resetting the brain between sprints.
Sports Fandom
Following baseball and cheering on the home team.
Gaming & Pop Culture
Open-world games and the culture built around them.
AI Tinkering & Building
Side projects with AI agents and automation — the same instinct that drives the process work at Optum.
