Salesforce • GitLab • Systems Integration • AI • Automation • Cybersecurity
I am a Project Manager Lead at The Last Mile with a technical background spanning software engineering, Salesforce, enterprise systems, systems integration, APIs, automation, artificial intelligence, data platforms, DevOps, and technical instruction.
My work focuses on the space between business requirements and technical implementation. I work across engineering, operations, programs, and leadership to design solutions, connect systems, improve development processes, automate workflows, and move technical initiatives from discovery through implementation.
I began developing software in 2021 and have progressed from full-stack application development and technical instruction into Salesforce platform engineering, enterprise integrations, GitLab-based development, AI systems, technical project management, and solution design.
My career trajectory is focused on Solutions Architecture and technical systems leadership.
I am currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Cybersecurity at the University of Phoenix, adding security engineering, vulnerability assessment, network analysis, ethical hacking, and secure system design to my technical foundation.
One of my primary enterprise initiatives has involved developing and operationalizing an integration between GitLab and Salesforce, connecting engineering workflows with organizational business processes.

BUSINESS OUTCOMES
I approach projects as interconnected systems rather than isolated applications.
The goal is not simply to build software. It is to understand the business problem, identify the systems and constraints involved, design the appropriate architecture, implement it securely, and create a solution that can be operated, maintained, and scaled.

SOLUTIONS ARCHITECTURE
I am building toward Solutions Architect and technical systems leadership roles where I can combine:
- Software engineering
- Salesforce
- Enterprise systems
- GitLab and DevOps
- API and integration architecture
- Technical project leadership
- AI and automation
- Data architecture
- Cybersecurity
My software engineering background helps me understand how systems are implemented.
My project management and business systems experience help me understand why those systems are being built.
My cybersecurity education is strengthening my understanding of how those systems should be protected.
I am building toward Solutions Architect and technical systems leadership roles where I can bridge the gap between business requirements and technical implementation.
My objective is to design solutions that are scalable, secure, maintainable, measurable, and aligned with organizational outcomes.
