Profile / Experience

A resume-grade record. Every line traceable.

Geospatial, cybersecurity, and digital systems — kept as a living profile where each entry traces to a product, a credential, or a dated artifact.

Positioning

Claim: an operator who turns complex information into products teams can act on. Receipt: nearly two decades of Army geospatial operations, three live public products, and 10 publicly verifiable credentials — all on this page.

The record is resume-grade on purpose: no inflated titles, no fuzzy date math, no skills-by-association. If a line can't carry a receipt, it doesn't get written here.

Experience

Timeline

Every entry stays resume-cleared and non-sensitive — and still specific: role, action, result.

Nearly two decades · Winding down

Army Geospatial Operations / Leadership

America's First Corps (I Corps) · Fort Lewis, Washington

Nearly two decades of geospatial operations and leadership, translating directly to civilian value: decision support built under real pressure, training that produces capable people, and teams led through work with no tolerance for wrong. Detail stays resume-cleared.

  • Turned raw geospatial information into clear decision-support products that commanders acted on — on deadline, under pressure, repeatedly.
  • Trained and developed soldiers and leaders; the mentoring habit behind every learning product on this site started here.
  • Carried breadth beyond the map: data preparation, project coordination, logistics, and recruiting — operational range, not title collection.

Founder and builder

TechNodeX · Remote / public web

Built and launched a public technical learning platform — cybersecurity, AI, full-stack development, DevOps, infrastructure — structured as guided paths, not a content dump.

  • Shipped 13 guided course paths, 114 lessons, 137 review checks, and 113 practice tasks — counts pulled from the live surface at technodex.io.
  • Mission underway: prove retention, not just publication — live-state checks, in-browser coding, completion signals.

Founder and product builder

Foundry Kit · Remote / public web

Shipped a website builder that turns a plain-English brief into exportable source — the customer keeps their code — with the trust surfaces published on day one, not promised for later.

  • Published docs, pricing, security posture, and status alongside the product at foundry-kit.com.
  • Mission underway: instrument the funnel — payments, analytics, one narrow paid offer — so "will it sell?" gets answered with data.

Founder and builder

Flavor by Design · Remote / public web

Built and operates a live recipe platform at flavorbydesign.org — a content business with real product mechanics, not a hobby blog.

  • Shipped 8,700+ curated recipes with search, portion scaling, a shopping-list builder, and clean affiliate separation.
  • Mission underway: read-only first-dollar measurement — affiliate clicks and conversion — with production untouched.
