    Leveraging my experience as a former US Army technical evaluator (FLRAA) and AI strategist, I now lead business development for the Gaming & Engineering divisions at HigherEchelon, Inc, a CMMI Level 3 certified, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB).I am responsible for driving strategic growth by connecting government customer needs with HigherEchelon\'s elite technical solutions.

My core responsibilities include developing growth strategies that fuse advanced Engineering services with cutting-edge Gaming & XR solutions, leading the full business development lifecycle for key contract vehicles, translating complex technical requirements into winning proposal strategies, and building a robust opportunity pipeline with defense agencies (Army, Navy, MDA), commercial partners (NFL), and strategic teaming partners.
