About

I'm a Denver-based Senior DAS Engineer with a cross-disciplinary background in civil and telecommunications engineering. I collaborate with PEs, AHJs, RF engineers, and field teams to deliver carrier-grade in-building wireless systems in complex healthcare and enterprise environments. I enjoy turning noisy KPI spreadsheets and drive logs into crisp actions — and mentoring teams to do the same.
