Senior Delivery Lead  ·  AKQA Leap  ·  Austin, TX

I lead teams that solve complex enterprise and public-sector problems with modern solutions rooted in research, design, and shippable code.

Currently in Senior Delivery at AKQA Leap and a former PwC consultant, I've delivered digital products for the likes of Google, Microsoft, and Salesforce. When I'm not shipping software, I'm navigating the complexities of state and federal hemp and cannabis policy.

I live in Austin, TX. Where I've grown up and the queso thrives.
