About

Lead and Code is where leadership meets technology. Through this blog, I share insights from my journey in data, AI, and machine learning—from building an Olympic ID card system to leading federal data initiatives at the OMB/White House.

I started as a developer, fascinated by the balance between data and user experience. That curiosity led me deep into business intelligence, data modeling, and visualization, transforming raw data into powerful insights. But my greatest challenge wasn’t technical—it was leadership.

Moving from an individual contributor to leading teams, I learned that expertise alone isn’t enough. True leadership is about influence, trust, and adaptability—navigating pressures, uniting people, and driving change.

This blog is a front-row seat to that journey. Join me as I explore the art of leadership in tech, share lessons learned, and uncover strategies to thrive in this evolving landscape.

Imagine a long day spent celebrating my child's birthday, filled with laughter and joy. As twilight descends, the warmth of home should provide comfort.
