I've led technology modernization in Congress and the private sector. I help organizations decide what's worth changing. Then I make the change work.
My work spans legislative policy, congressional technology leadership, and private-sector platform strategy, including technology leadership for the House Committee on Judiciary and the House Committee on Rules.
Modernization has been the recurring assignment: new platforms, the processes rebuilt around them, and institutional requirements turned into working systems.
Today, that work includes data governance, information architecture, and practical AI adoption. The emphasis is on reliable information and systems people can sustain.
At the House Committee on Rules, I oversaw a major website redesign supporting official legislative publication and participated from early requirements gathering through rollout of docs.house.gov. Related work on document standards and consistent hearing webcasting connected immediate access with the need to preserve an institution’s record through change.
At the House Committee on Judiciary, I led a major hearing-room modernization covering display, audio, timing, and supporting infrastructure. The project began with equipment that did not fit ordinary hearing conditions. Evaluating the room as a working environment shaped the replacement and the connected systems needed to support proceedings.
In a congressional member office, I led the transition to fully digital intake and tracking of constituent correspondence as an early adopter of the program. Electronic responses and printing only when needed substantially reduced paper consumption, while the digital workflow reduced staff time and costs associated with physical mail handling. I evaluated and implemented platforms, supported provider transitions, and connected the technology to a workflow I knew firsthand.
My technology leadership has included cybersecurity responsibility, coordination with institutional services, and continuity planning. I approach those responsibilities through clear ownership, practical requirements, and attention to how protections and services operate as systems change.
