Systems engineer and applied researcher focused on requirements engineering, obligation traceability, lifecycle-state modeling, federal acquisition, and compliance systems for small organizations.
I build practical systems that convert external obligations into controlled data: requirements, states, deadlines, evidence, dependencies, and audit trails.
Current research: A deployed federal-construction compliance instrument using an approximately 60-gate work breakdown structure, an 11-state submittal lifecycle, a deadline engine, and review-aging controls. As of 11 September 2026, first-pass submittal approval was 69% by line item (20/29) and 47% by package (8/17). The dashboard's 85% figure is a current-state gate approval share, not a first-pass rate. The next research gate is a focused literature review before further taxonomy or doctoral-scope claims.
Studying: Master of Science in Information Technology, Systems Engineering concentration, University of Maryland Global Campus. Program begins 16 September 2026.
Career direction: Industry R&D, systems engineering, and consulting.
