## About

```text
At Lyntris, I direct systems engineering, SDRLs, and producibility across a $47.6M defense portfolio, including $41M of Northrop Grumman work. I’m the weekly technical interface with Northrop Grumman and DCMA, and I led prime MRA, EEE, and AS9102 audits to zero findings.

At Arizona State University, I directed engineering and cleanroom AI&T teams across flight and lab programs, raising first-pass yield from 60% to 97%. I also supported OTES qualification hardware for NASA’s OSIRIS-REx and architected 4 K detector mounts; at Standard Engineering LLC, I led DropWorks hardware work through its acquisition by Bio-Rad and developed innovations resulting in three issued U.S. patents.
