Leadership

More than an engineer.

Leadership isn't a title — it's a practice. Across technology, athletics, and community, I've built programs, developed talent, and driven lasting change. That same instinct is what makes me effective as a technical leader.

As a first-generation Mexican-American, I believe deeply in opening doors for those coming behind me. My work in technology has always been inseparable from my commitment to community.
