Founder, Blue Dawn Tech | Director of Business Intelligence, CareerSource Central Florida
Building practical AI, data, and digital solutions that make work and life better.
I'm the founder of Blue Dawn Tech, an AI, data, and digital innovation venture where I build practical tools, create intelligent products, and help people use AI with confidence. I care about making technology useful in real life. No hype, no jargon, just tools and ideas that actually help people work smarter and build better.
I also serve as Director of Business Intelligence at CareerSource Central Florida, where I lead data strategy, analytics, and performance reporting. My work is centered on turning complex information into clear insight, building stronger data foundations, and helping organizations make better decisions with confidence.
With a bachelor's degree in Computer Science and a master's degree in Systems Engineering, I bring both technical depth and systems thinking to everything I do. Over time, my work has grown beyond data alone into AI, digital products, and practical education because I believe the future belongs to people who can connect strategy, technology, and real human needs.
Whether I'm building an AI-powered product, leading enterprise data initiatives, presenting workforce intelligence, or sharing what is actually working in tech right now, my goal stays the same: turn insight into action and make complex things feel clearer, more useful, and more approachable.

Three Principles
Build things that matter.
Projects, tools, and experiments should solve real problems. If it is not useful, it is not worth building.
Make data make sense.
Data should guide decisions, tell a story, and create clarity, not sit in a report unread.
Tech for real life.
AI and digital tools should feel practical, empowering, and accessible to everyday people.
