Leading Public Sector Innovation Through People, Process & Technology
IT Manager I at the Los Angeles County Probation Department, Southern California 🇺🇸
I lead teams that build and support systems powering one of the largest probation departments in the country. With a strong background in software development and cloud infrastructure, I’ve modernized platforms ranging from staff scheduling to emergency alert systems — making tools faster, smarter, and more secure.
I'm deeply committed to public service and believe technology should simplify life for staff and community alike. Whether guiding system rewrites, designing DevOps strategies, or mentoring emerging leaders, I aim to build solutions that truly work.
