Info Pioneer

Professionally, I began my career as a military contractor analyst with a secret clearance at NIWIC PAC. There, I discovered my natural leadership abilities, leading security teams composed of engineers nearly twice my age and significantly more senior—all while in my early twenties.

A few years later, I bet on myself and landed a job in Silicon Valley at Tesla, where I thrived in the company’s notoriously demanding environment. At Tesla, I became one of the highest-level DevSecOps engineers within my contracting firm, bearing responsibility for the majority of the enterprise's security posture and leading a team to implement robust solutions.

Following my tenure at Tesla, I returned to military contracting, where I built attack and defense cyber ranges and provided cybersecurity automation and DevSecOps support for the US Patent Office and the Veterans Association. I also taught fellow software developers and architects how to work more efficiently using automation tools.

Most recently, I am the founder of a tech company Info Pioneer, a company that has a goal of transforming small business operations as we know it by using innovative vertical Ai agents. I’m also considered by many to be a trusted consultant to innovative businesses, and a voice of empowerment. In addition, I work full time at Solar Turbines as a ML-DevSecOps contractor in San Diego.

Personally, I started with humble beginnings and challenges, sleeping on the floor, growing up with a father consumed by drug addiction and a mother who, despite her tireless work ethic, battled alcoholism. I’ve been underestimated, underserved, and faced discrimination in both business and the workplace—all without stable parental support and after losing both parents. Yet, I’ve managed to rise above these challenges to own a home in America’s most expensive city.

With no family safety net or positive role models to lean on, I had to rely on something greater: grit, resilience, an unshakable belief in my ability to create a better future, and an immense drive to read and learn. Starting with just $100, I laid the groundwork for a life defined not by circumstances but by opportunity. That foundation eventually led to homeownership, leadership roles, and recognition as a trailblazer in the tech world.

Despite every obstacle, I embraced my circumstances as fuel for innovation, determination, and service. My passion for technology became the bridge between adversity and achievement, enabling me to turn setbacks into stepping stones toward success.

In short, my personal and professional experiences have shaped me to be a person of immense leadership, technical capability, and resilience. This is underlined by my track record of an aggressive committed pursuit of improving the lives of others and contributing to society in a positive way and winning, so to speak, despite challenges. I don’t just seek to transform my own life—I work to uplift others. Through mentorship, creating systems of opportunity, and sharing hard-earned knowledge, I’ve dedicated myself to building up those around me.
