About FNS

I came up through operations. IT support in a 24/7 hospital system, where downtime meant a nurse couldn't pull up a chart. Then lead technical operations engineer at a $2 billion fintech, where I ran incident response and built the internal tooling that let operations, customer service, and compliance teams move faster: payment processing, refunds, identity verification. Years of watching small teams drown in work that mattered, and building the systems that kept them above water.

That is exactly the job I do now. The tools changed. The job didn't.

Before any of that, the through-line was already there: data analytics for Feeding America's Native American outreach, a statewide listening tour across all 64 Louisiana parishes, health screenings that connected thousands of families to care, a multilingual campaign putting the California Earned Income Tax Credit in front of the families it was created for.

I founded FNS because the programs doing the most important work tend to have the thinnest operations. A statewide program run by a handful of people. A nonprofit where the executive director is also the grant writer and the IT department. AI, built responsibly, is the first technology that can genuinely widen what a small team can hold. That is the work I want to spend my career on. This is not a market opportunity I am chasing. It is the work that lines up what I am good at, what the world needs, and what I care about.
