Software Engineer and Artistic Visualizer

Work experience

Data Engineer

CLX Communications AB (Sinch) | Seattle, WA

1/2021 - 7/2024 - Remote

•      Built a role-aware LLM assistant integrated with Snowflake RBAC; implemented prompt templates, retrieval over Snowflake tables/views, and policy-based filtering to protect sensitive fields.

•      Added explainability UX (voice/face UI via MetaHuman; optional) and observability (request/response logging, prompt versioning) to speed onboarding and pipeline root-cause analysis.

•      Modernized data pipelines (AWS, Python, DBT, Snowflake, PostgreSQL) supporting AI features; increased BI data delivery by ~50% to Tableau and stabilized refresh SLAs used by downstream AI Workflows.

Data Scientist

InCadence Strategic Solutions | Manassas, VA

3/2020 - 11/2020 - Remote

•      Implemented NLP services (Stanford CoreNLP in Java; Python wrappers) for NER/PoS to structure unstructured content for analysis and retrieval.

•      Built RPA (Selenium, BPEL) to automate data ingestion for NLP/geo pipelines; exposed outputs through GeoServer and Zeppelin notebooks to accelerate analytic iteration.

Developer (Tech Lead)

Foxhole Technology | Herndon, VA

9/2018 - 3/2020 - Remote

•      Led delivery of information-security features across Flex/Java/C#; improved analyst workflows and adoption (~30% increase in security-awareness usage).

•      Drove code reviews, defect triage, and CI discipline to reduce regressions and raise release confidence.

GIS Software Engineer

PEMDAS Technologies & Innovations | Niceville, FL

8/2017 - 9/2018 - Remote

•      Stabilized weather estimation/prediction data flows; improved front-end performance and reliability for routing updates consumed by downstream analytics.

•      Authored technical and user documentation; stabilized interfaces for downstream consumers.

Senior Software Engineer (Consulting)

Consultant - Multiple Gov/Enterprise Clients

10/2012 - 9/2017 - Remote

•      Directed projects spanning geospatial visualization, secure data flows, and real-time rendering surfaces for analyst tools (OSD, US Army, FEMA, FBI, VA).

•      Authored design docs (UML, SDD), integrated distributed services, and created UI components for investigative dashboards—foundations that translate directly to XR HUD/UX patterns.

Software Engineer

Sphere of Influence | Sterling, VA

11/2010 - 10/2012

•      Shipped an analyst workflow management system for the terrorist watch list with performance and stability under strict constraints.

Software Engineer

Unisys | Reston, VA

6/2007 - 11/2010 - Remote

•      Maintained/enhanced CODIS v7 and Prüm DNA requirements (C#, MS SQL Server); worked within high-assurance data models and compliance.

SELECTED AI PROJECTS

•  RBAC-Aware LLM Dev Assistant: Python service + Snowflake retrieval + prompt/guardrail layer; policy enforcement on responses; request logging & prompt versioning; optional UE5 front-end for voice/gaze interaction.

•  NLP Extraction Pipeline: Stanford CoreNLP (Java) with Python integration for NER/PoS; standardized outputs for search, triage, and downstream analytics.

•  Data-Aware RAG: Prototype RAG flows over Snowflake marts (vs. copying to separate stores) to minimize data drift; DBT tests used to guard retrieval quality.
