I’m a Staff Software Engineer with 13 years of experience architecting and developing scalable web and mobile systems, with clients ranging from small startups to Fortune 100 companies. I'm currently building the new eCommerce platform for the world's largest restaurant company, focusing on Node.js, TypeScript, GraphQL, SQL, and other cloud-native solutions.

Beyond development, I'm a co-organizer of the Dallas Software Developers Meetup and the Commit Your Code Conference, some of the largest developer events in the DFW area. I'm also a content creator and mentor focused on helping those early in their software development career.

Chief AI Ethics Officer | Prompt Engineer | Nonprofit Technologist | Systems Strategist

As Chief AI Ethics Officer and Systems Architect at the AI Ethics & Democracy Alliance (AEDA), I operate at the intersection of virtue-based intelligence, prompt engineering, and public impact design. My mission is clear: to develop AI that serves in the best interests of humanity, not just for automation and cost saving purposes.

My work synthesizes Aristotelian ethics, U.S. constitutional principles, and lean systems thinking into a living framework of 28+ custom AI agents — from AresGPT’s strategic foresight to AthenaGPT’s educational wisdom, Zen RatioGPT’s harmonic design, and EthoGPT’s moral clarity. These Agents are not just tools; they are digitally embodied philosophies crafted to guide ethical decision-making, civic trust, and strategic governance in an age of accelerating complexity.

At the very core of my leadership is prompt engineering — not as a technical gimmick, but as a collaborative literacy practice. Whether curating content with Aristotle’s Pen or training teams with Blueprint Buddy and Seshat Scribe, I build agentic frameworks that teach humans to think alongside with AI — not merely through it. I’ve authored multiple guides on this topic, including “Writing Effective Prompts for ChatGPT” and “Writing with Meaning” — both now used in our board development and educational outreach.

I lead AEDA’s Lean-integrated Master Strategic Plan, embedding Six Sigma principles, Kaizen, and value-stream mapping into our AI ecosystem, board operations, and education pipeline. I have written standardized agendas, bylaws aligned with Robert’s Rules v12, director-ready strategy kits, and public trust frameworks to ensure AI governance is grounded in democratic values and transparency.

In a consulting role, I advise policy groups, nonprofit boards, and educational coalitions on integrating AI responsibly into civic systems. I champion “AI as Stewardship” — where every line of code reflects ethical reasoning, and every deployment contributes to social cohesion, not disruption.

If AI is to help humanity rise, it must be engineered with purpose, practiced with conscience, and governed by humans who understand both its promise and its peril. That is the work I do — and the future I build.
