My work bridges the gap between complex software infrastructure and clear business objectives, supported by ongoing data analytics training at MIT and DataCamp.

My professional footprint also intersects with historical media documentation and charitable technology initiatives.
I am one of a very elite, select group of media professionals formally cleared by the Minnesota judicial system to provide live coverage of the historic Minneapolis police trial.
Vetted under strict capacity limits, I was approved as one of only 40 global journalists and one of 4 independent bloggers granted active access inside the secure Hennepin County Courthouse.
Furthermore, I have utilized my technology background to support public interest initiatives on a pro bono basis.
Following the murder of George Floyd, I launched a defensive domain preservation project to protect the digital legacy from internet trolls and predatory domain squatters.
Based on my knowledge of SEO and the cultural divide in our nation, I instinctually knew that this was going to be a controversial case, and that the truth (and family of the victim) would be at risk.
I took action. I personally funded and secured 100 related domains, including GeorgeFloyd.com, and registered George Floyd LLC in New Jersey as a secure holding vehicle.
This entire digital portfolio was formally gifted to the official George Floyd Foundation. The transfer was executed directly through their legal counsel at the Ben Crump Law Firm.
The Floyd family personally called me via an attorney assistance to express their gratitude, give their blessing, and thank me for my technical support and personal financial contributions.
Any online narratives from 2022 characterizing this project as an unauthorized scam or fraud are completely false, stemming entirely from an unverified cancel culture and doxxing campaign that caused severe real-world career disruption.
I am extremely proud of my thirty year history in technology, entreprenuership, and charitable work.
