Engineering that powers iconic systems

Born and raised in Tampa Bay, Florida, my passion for technology, engineering, and creativity took root early. From building Legos as a kid to designing websites as a teenager, my curiosity for how things work has always driven me forward.

I attended the University of Florida, earning both bachelor's and master's degrees in electrical engineering, with a minor in business administration. During my time there, I played a key role in the design of SwampSat, UF's first CubeSat satellite, working on both the motherboard and embedded software.

After graduating, I joined Lockheed Martin as a supplier and material quality engineer. For three years, I troubleshot manufacturing defects in circuit boards and electrical components, while visiting suppliers to improve their production processes.

I then spent the next decade at American Traction Systems, developing embedded software for motor controllers and power converters for a range of applications, including locomotives, ferries, streetcars, mining vehicles, and electric vehicles.

My work powers some of the most iconic and critical systems—from the Disney Monorail to the Alcatraz ferry, NASA's NEAT program, streetcars in Buffalo, mining vehicles in Peru, and locomotives in Canada and England. My contributions also extend to the Army's TARDEC program and the Buckeye Bullet 3, a record-breaking electric vehicle.

After a decade at ATS, I joined Linear Labs as a Senior Embedded Software Engineer, where I developed vehicle and motor control software for golf carts and e-bikes, implementing modern DevOps practices including CI/CD pipelines, Docker, and comprehensive testing.

Since 2022, I've been running Salvatorre, delivering engineering solutions built on proven platforms I've developed. In 2024, I also became a Partner/Engineer at Spoores, where I develop IoT embedded systems, backend APIs, and web/mobile applications while mentoring the next generation of software engineers.
