Who I Am

I'm a Distinguished Technical Architect on Data and AI at Salesforce, specializing in helping enterprise customers architect and deliver data strategies that power AI-driven outcomes at scale.

With dual master's degrees in Data Science (Northwestern University) and Data Engineering (WGU), I bring both theoretical depth and hands-on engineering skills to every engagement — from pipeline design and feature engineering to ML model deployment and governance.

Before tech, I served in the U.S. Military, which shaped how I approach every problem: with discipline, systems thinking, and a bias for getting things done under pressure.

I'm fluent in English and Spanish, passionate about data governance and the responsible use of AI, and always exploring the next frontier — currently LLMs, Agent-to-Agent (A2A) protocols, and MCP.
