He brings more than 20 years of experience, including serving as Chief Information Security Officer and Deputy Chief Technology Officer for the State of Maryland. He was the driving force behind a data hub-centric architecture that broke down barriers between state agencies and integrated access to programs administered by the Department of Human Services, Maryland Department of Health, Department of Juvenile Services, and Department of Labor, Licensing, and Regulation. Designed to improve efficiency, reduce operational costs, strengthen data access, prioritize workloads and measure program effectiveness, the architecture helped streamline services and improve outcomes for vulnerable Marylanders, including children in foster care, disconnected youth and families in need.
