🚀 A Single Moment Changed My Life Forever…



Losing my father at 47 taught me something powerful:
Systemic inefficiencies aren't barriers—they're invitations to innovate.

Growing up in resource-constrained environments, I saw firsthand how infrastructure gaps limit human potential. Today, I turn those gaps into mobility systems that perform under pressure.

I design calm in the middle of chaos.
Whether it's 80,000 fans moving through a FIFA stadium district or a snowstorm threatening critical rail ops, I help teams build systems that don't blink when the pressure hits.

For nearly 19 years, I've led operations across crisis-tested rail corridors and mega-event environments—managing transit, crowd flow, and contingency strategies that keep people moving when it matters most.

🔭 My current focus:
🏟️ Smarter fan mobility for FIFA 2026
🧠 Data-powered crowd flow strategies
⚡ Transit ops built for real-world disruption
🌎 Cross-border travel intelligence for mega-events

Backed by certifications in PMP, Lean Six Sigma Black Belt, and Agile, I merge precision planning with agile leadership. Whether it's a hurricane response, a multi-country stadium simulation, or a fan-first sponsor strategy, I deliver under fire.

Because when the stakes rise, only one question matters:
Can your system move under pressure?

📌 Let's connect if you're working on:
• FIFA 2026 city logistics
• Crisis simulation & urban risk audits
• Fan-first operations & crowd intelligence
• Smart city transit readiness
