About

I specialize in public sector and mission critical technology hiring, with a strong focus on government IT modernization programs and over the past several years, I have worked closely on complex roles across NG911, public safety systems, enterprise cloud architecture, ERP Modernizations across states, GIS, data platforms, and large-scale digital transformation initiatives. I understand the realities of government hiring budget cycles, compliance requirements, layered vendor structures, and security constraints and I work with senior engineers, architects, program leaders, and technology SMEs who operate in high-impact environments where reliability, governance, and scalability matter. If you are building or scaling public sector technology teams or if you are a senior professional operating in this space. I am always open to strategic conversations. Leveraging ATS and CRM tools, I streamline recruitment while tracking key metrics for success.
