About
Born and raised in California. Worked from age 15-24 through high school and undergrad in restaurants and kitchens as a busser, dishwasher, and cook. Fulfilled my dream of serving as an active duty Army officer. I'll mostly be posting about stuff I'm building, and writing some articles about life, my family, and some work stuff.
Experience
U.S. Army
Full-time
Sustainment — America's First Corps (I Corps)
13th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion · Dec 2024 – Present
SPO-Ammunition and SPO-Transportation billet at the 13th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion. After working in a Forward Support Company for a couple years, I transitioned to staff work and started building things I love, using Palantir Vantage and the Microsoft Power Platform. Self-taught through PySpark, DAX, and python transforms, building tools for the Army that reminded me of the projects I worked on with my older brother as a kid. Deployed dashboards for my leadership.
Forward Support Company Executive Officer
Mar 2024 – Dec 2024 · 10 mos
Oversaw all company operations, maintenance readiness, and personnel actions for 90+ soldiers across quartermaster, transportation, and supply sections.
Forward Support Company Maintenance Platoon Leader
May 2022 – Mar 2024 · 1 yr 11 mos
Led the maintenance platoon responsible for a variety of equipment: weapons, ground support equipment, NVGs, generators, and wheeled vehicles. Very operational — managing maintenance bays alongside the Army's best (Warrant Officers), controlling dispatch operations, and performing recovery missions supporting many exercises, rotations, and deployments.
Cadet
United States Army Cadet Command
Full-ride with cross-campus agreement with UCSB. Commissioned as a Quartermaster.
Projects
ARC — Ammunition & Range Coordinator
Microsoft Power BI → Rebuilt as Interactive Web App
Interactive ammunition calculator for Joint Base Lewis-McChord. Select a weapon system and enter soldier count to compute STRAC-based ammo requirements across Tables IV–VI (zero, practice, qualification). Automatically resolves DODICs, compatible JBLM ranges, and SDZ requirements. Finalist (35/100) in the Department of the Army's Power BI Showcase (January 2026).
CAL-C — Container Asset Logistics Calculator
Microsoft Power BI → Rebuilt as Interactive Web App
Predictive logistics modeling tool that determines if a container movement mission is mathematically feasible. Input cargo demands (TRICONs, QUADCONs, BICONs, MILVANs), transportation assets, and mission timeframe to compute total TEUs, required sorties, daily throughput, and a GO/NO-GO feasibility assessment with slack analysis.
CULT — Common User Land Transportation
Palantir Foundry / Vantage
Built from scratch on Palantir Foundry with an 8-stage data pipeline. Ingests GCSS-Army and IPPS-A data through PySpark transforms, creates an ontology with Soldier, Equipment, Unit, and SoldierEquipmentQualification objects, and powers a React/TypeScript dashboard. Includes the LEE AIP Bot — a custom AI assistant for querying unit readiness data in natural language. Started August 2025.
