Engineering
I take an engineering-first approach in everything I do, while also recognizing the importance of working from the customer experience first, then working toward the technology.
My engineering background is rooted in building, modernizing, and scaling technical systems that support real business operations. I have worked across software development, cloud infrastructure, broadcast technology, virtualization, networking, security, endpoint management, analytics, and enterprise IT. That range has shaped how I approach engineering: understand the system, reduce unnecessary complexity, improve reliability, and make sure the technology supports the business instead of slowing it down.

At Sinclair Digital, I work across development, infrastructure, analytics, and product systems that support Sinclair’s digital and broadcast platforms. I directly manage engineering work for ATSC 3.0 interactive applications, internal tools, and Storyline CMS’s video backend, which is used across Sinclair’s news website and app portfolio. My work often involves connecting software development with infrastructure decisions, vendor systems, cloud services, analytics platforms, and operational requirements.
A major focus of my engineering work has been improving infrastructure efficiency at scale. Since joining Sinclair, I have helped reduce annual costs by approximately $2.5 million by optimizing infrastructure, revising upgrade and procurement strategies, and developing internal technologies to replace licensed solutions where it made technical and financial sense. I care about engineering decisions that are not only technically sound, but also sustainable from an operational and cost perspective.
I have designed and operated a remotely monitored ATSC 3.0 lab used for internal testing, standards work, certification support, and new technology development. That work includes coordinating with device manufacturers, set-top box vendors, multinational engineering firms, and standards-focused partners to test interoperability, report bugs, validate features, and improve viewer experiences across platforms.
My experience also includes building and improving analytics systems that give teams better visibility into user behavior, platform performance, and broadcast-related trends. I have reworked internal dashboards, supported reporting pipelines, and worked with tools such as Databricks, Cognos, Google Analytics, AWS, Microsoft Cloud, GitLab, Jira, and Confluence to help teams make better technical and business decisions.
Before Sinclair, I worked heavily in systems engineering and infrastructure operations. I helped redesign networking and failover infrastructure across multiple offices, retired legacy systems, relocated datacenter infrastructure, consolidated domains and networks after a merger, strengthened critical file and case management systems, and supported the rollout of modern voice and communications platforms.
In healthcare, I managed virtualized infrastructure, built and maintained vCenter and vSphere environments, supported Citrix operations and migration to Citrix Cloud, improved monitoring through systems like PRTG, managed endpoint and mobile device environments, and delivered monthly uptime reporting to executive leadership. That experience taught me how important reliability, visibility, documentation, and operational discipline are when systems directly support patient care and business continuity.
Earlier in my career, I worked in managed services and enterprise support environments where I designed client infrastructure, implemented Group Policy and RMM solutions, managed Azure and Microsoft 365 environments, performed security testing, supported compliance requirements, and served as a senior escalation point for complex issues. I also worked on large-scale endpoint provisioning, Active Directory and Exchange migrations, vulnerability management, asset tracking, and PBX support for hundreds of users.
My engineering style is practical and ownership-driven. I like solving problems close to the root cause, not just treating symptoms. I care about maintainability, cost, reliability, security, and whether a system can still be understood and supported after it grows. I am comfortable working at both the architecture level and the implementation level, and I value engineers who can connect technical decisions to business impact.
The strongest through-line in my career is building systems that last: infrastructure that scales, software that supports real users, monitoring that gives teams visibility, and technical decisions that reduce risk instead of creating more of it.
