I build embedded software, CI/CD pipelines, and the compliance artifacts that let teams ship.

What I do

Embedded systems, CI/CD, and compliance.

My work sits at the intersection of low-level systems engineering and release pipelines. I help teams move a build from "it runs on my machine" to a reproducible, archived, signed artifact a customer can deploy.

I also bring a compliance background — control mapping, evidence collection, and System Security Plan authoring — so the engineering work doesn't get stuck behind documentation gaps. Systems engineering that knows how to live inside structured environments is what I bring.
