“Master Electrician & 20-Yr First Responder | Heavy Infrastructure, 50MW Scaling & Software Builder”

Interests

About Me

I am a Master Electrician, former Washington D.C. firefighter with 20 years of service, and commercial construction superintendent who brings uncompromising, first-responder discipline to the built environment. Throughout my career in the field, I have managed high-stakes commercial and residential electrical systems, fire alarm automation, and complex off-grid solar micro-grids.

Beyond physical infrastructure, I am an active technologist and software builder. I own and operate Ikon Marketing Suite—a SaaS platform accepted into the Google for Startups Cloud Program—where I engineer custom multi-touch attribution algorithms and marketing automation workflows. My technical curiosity extends into the digital assets space, where I actively build and deploy algorithmic trading scripts for cryptocurrency platforms.

Whether I am directing high-capacity electrical data rooms, auditing system scaling up to 50MW, or writing code in Xcode and Python, I operate with a zero-defect mindset. I am looking to connect with podcast hosts who want to dive deep into the intersection of heavy electrical infrastructure, high-stress field leadership, and modern tech automation.
