As a program manager and AI researcher, I've had the privilege of governing over half a billion in federal program investments driving innovation in technologies such as massively multilingual natural language processing, computer vision, semantic reasoning, and human-machine teaming.
As a Senior Advisor in DARPA's Commercial Strategy Office, I help transition paradigm shifting defense research for the benefit of both the warfighter and broader society, collaborating with accelerators, venture capital, non-profits, and state and local government initiatives.
I'm passionate about national and economic security and the hope that safe and stable environments afford communities. I'm also a builder, peacemaker, and poet at heart, and always looking for the next great horizon in human potential.
