Bio

I am a Lead Engineer for the United States Department of Defense with over a decade of experience conducting comprehensive technical and cost evaluations for complex, high-value repair and spare part proposals, supporting programs valued from the multi-million to billion-dollar range. My work ensures the government secures fair and reasonable pricing while upholding the highest standards of technical rigor, fiscal accountability, and mission readiness.

I currently serve within Navy Price Fighters (NPF), a specialized analytical organization under the Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) recognized across the Federal Government for its measurable impact in cost savings and acquisition efficiency. At NPF, I lead multi-disciplinary teams of engineers and analysts in developing data-driven cost models, performing detailed evaluations, and supporting contract negotiations for aeronautical and marine weapon systems. Our group’s contributions were notably highlighted in an official White House fact sheet, reflecting the national-level importance of our mission.

My academic background includes a Master of Science in Electrical Engineering with a concentration in control systems and a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering, a combination that provides a strong analytical and systems-oriented foundation for my work in cost engineering and technical analysis. I am also Defense Acquisition University (DAU) Business Cost Estimating Advanced (Level III) Certified and maintain an Active Secret Clearance.

Beyond my core duties, I have led initiatives to modernize internal analytical processes through automation and data integration. For example, I developed Microsoft Access and Excel VBA-based tools to streamline reporting and data visualization, cutting recurring administrative processing time by 75 percent. I also spearheaded the creation of an internal cost-analysis database that consolidated decades of review data, enabling faster and more informed decision-making across the organization.

My professional interests include control systems, data-driven decision-making, and the integration of data engineering, analysis, and machine learning with traditional engineering disciplines to enhance acquisition and performance outcomes.

My competencies include:
Excel (advanced)
MATLAB (intermediate)
Simulink (intermediate)
Python (intermediate)
C++ (intermediate)
MS Access (beginner)
MySQL (beginner)
