I am a technology executive at the City of El Paso, TX, who specializes in leading digital modernization, scaling technical organizations, data strategy, and operationalizing AI and other emerging technologies for real-world impact. I also manage the extraordinary team that supports these efforts.

With a 15+ year background spanning AI research, enterprise software engineering, project management, public-sector transformation, and startup innovation, I bring a unique combination of strategic vision and hands-on technical depth.

I’ve led multidisciplinary teams across software engineering, data, cybersecurity, UX, GIS, and emerging technologies. My leadership style translates complex technical concepts into understandable, actionable language for all stakeholders.

Before my current role, I co-founded an AI and mixed reality startup, Boost Human, which has now expanded to consulting, and led emerging technology innovation in the private sector. I am also an affiliated faculty member and researcher in artificial intelligence, data, and human–computer interaction, which I leverage for my recruitment pipeline.

I believe in a people-first technology approach, and I work to put that vision into practice across the organizations and communities I serve.
