About Me

I’m a technology executive and community builder at the intersection of wealth management and global robotics education, leading AI‑driven platforms at J.P. Morgan and governance for RoboCup’s worldwide STEAM ecosystem.

As a Vice President and Senior Lead Software Engineer in J.P. Morgan’s International Private Bank, I design and scale technology that supports high‑net‑worth clients—bringing together financial technology, data analysis, and artificial intelligence to create robust, real‑world solutions. I was selected as one of the firm’s top Expert Engineers out of tens of thousands of technologists, partnering across regions to tackle complex business challenges.

Beyond the bank, I serve as a Trustee on the RoboCup Federation’s Board, representing RoboCupJunior globally and shaping robotics education strategy and competition standards. Over the past decade, I’ve helped grow programs that now reach 25,000+ students across 40+ countries each year, turning large‑scale robotics events into lasting learning ecosystems—especially in underrepresented regions.

What sets me apart is a blend of hands‑on engineering, board‑level stewardship, and a very human leadership style: making advanced analytics and AI approachable for non‑technical stakeholders, coaching diverse teams, and translating strategy into tangible products, platforms, and programs. Whether it’s optimizing Private Banking platforms, shaping global robotics policy, or writing about leadership and careers, the throughline is the same—use technology, storytelling, and community to create opportunity at scale (ideally celebrated with tacos after the demo).
