Founder and Lead Quantitative Systems Architect at Stokestox, Inc., building auditable cloud analytics for regulatory data.

United States
Message

At Stokestox, Inc., I architected a cloud analytics engine that turns regulatory data and structured records into auditable decision metrics. I engineered RESTful API integrations and automated ingestion workflows, with a focus on query latency and fault recovery.

At CT State Community College: Housatonic, I led statewide academic and assessment modernization across 12 institutions. I helped standardize quantitative testing and directed adoption of digital learning and testing platforms, with analyses that yielded over $1,000,000 in aggregate institutional cost savings.

As Chair, School of Science and Mathematics, I directed operations, curriculum standards, and technology adoption for faculty and instructional staff. I also oversaw assessment frameworks and administered grant-funded technology budgets. My work combines mathematics, psychometrics, and cloud architecture in high-stakes assessment and compliance settings.
