My mission is to build confidence in technology by making complex concepts practical, approachable, and hands-on, and to help the next generation develop the skills they need to pursue meaningful careers in technology. I believe anyone can learn and master technology, including AI and emerging technologies, when they are given the right guidance, opportunities to practice, and encouragement to keep learning.

 

I am an Adjunct Professor of Computer Information Systems at El Camino College, where I teach Web Development and Office Applications. I also serve as a STEM Instructor with Concorde Education, leading interactive after-school programs in Digital Animation and Computer Coding. Alongside teaching, my research at West Los Angeles College applies machine learning and statistical modeling in R to analyze complex ecological data.

​

Before transitioning into higher education, I spent more than a decade working across software engineering, cybersecurity, systems architecture, data, and operations management. At the U.S. Census Bureau, I supported the Economic sector through architecture consultations, web application development, and automated security testing using HP WebInspect. At Infologics Corporation, I progressed from Software Engineer to Operations Manager, leading the engineering and maintenance of a mission-critical system for the U.S. Department of Transportation that processed millions of vehicle importation records while supporting regulatory compliance and continuous operational performance.

​

My work has always been at the intersection of technology, people, and practical problem-solving. I am particularly interested in how AI, data, and emerging technologies can be applied to solve real-world problems, improve systems, and create better learning opportunities. Whether I am developing a system, analyzing data, exploring AI applications, teaching a student, or improving a technology process, I enjoy turning complex challenges into solutions that people can understand and use.
