## Work Experience
### Principal, Solutions Architect (Client Services, Design thinking, AI & Emerging Technologies) @ theDifference
Jan 2020 – Present | United States
theDifference is a one-of-a-kind, high-trust strategy and innovation firm that partners with organizations operating at national and global scale on challenges with institutional or societal weight. The team has been behind major efforts with the U.S. Air Force, the Department of Defense, World Bank, IFC, United Nations, Gates Foundation, alliances, philanthropic coalitions, and enterprise transformation programs. Our work brings together disciplined facilitation, collaborative intelligence, structured inquiry, technological innovation, and emerging AI to get teams to break through bottlenecks, architect better processes, and stand up solutions that can actually be implemented inside complex systems.

I sit at the point where the future meets the institutional realities of the present. My work moves across sectors—global health, defense, climate, education, and enterprise—and I’m usually brought in when a team is navigating complex actors, sensitive information, or challenges that require both technical understanding and human alignment.

### AFWERX Challenge, Public-Private Partnerships @ AFWERX
Jan 2020 – Present
$1B+ innovation portfolio | 700-person national defense organization

AFWERX is one of the most successful technology accelerators in the U.S., responsible for transitioning dual-use AI, autonomy, data, and advanced hardware from startups into real defense capability. It sits under the Secretary of the Air Force and directly supports national-level missions.

I grew within the organization from Market Research analyst to strategic lead — shaping how markets are understood, how technical insights travel across the Department of Defense, and how teams engage with emerging technology at scale.

I lead strategic engagement efforts that connect the Air Force/Space Force with innovators across industry, policy, academia, and investment. My work focuses on translating complex technology markets into clear strategic narratives that decision-makers can act on.

### Forward Deployed Engineer/ AI Product Development @ Collaboration.Ai
Jan 2020 – Present
Collaboration.Ai builds digital collaboration systems that help organizations understand themselves and operate with more clarity. The platform is used by global alliances, philanthropic coalitions, government programs, and enterprise teams to map expertise, strengthen networks, and create environments where people connect with purpose. The work blends AI, data structures, and human-centered design to improve how large groups share knowledge and make decisions.

Within this landscape, I focus on weaving AI into the ways communities interact, learn, and collaborate. I help shape how insights are gathered, how signals flow through a network, and how AI can responsibly enhance connection without replacing the human dynamics that matter most. My work spans ethical AI practices, insight generation, and the design of intelligent interactions—everything from conversation models to recommendation systems that make it easier for people to find each other, share what they know, and stay engaged.

### Artificial Intelligence Data Analyst & Business Development(Consultant) @ SwingVision Artificial IntelligenceI for Tennis (Mangolytics)
