Summary

    

I am a Cognitive Systems Engineer, which offers a unique perspective on resilient design and the user-centered experience. I focus on understanding people as they do real work and are assisted by technology. Using my skill set, I could drive new innovations and direction toward fulfilling explicit and implicit user needs. I am currently seeking opportunities in the Raleigh-Durham area in North Carolina focused on resilient systems, accident investigation, and user-centered design.
