I have a Master's in Industrial-Organizational Psychology and a decade of experience building data systems inside large financial institutions. That intersection is exactly why I build what I build.

I/O Psychology explores how people behave in organizations — what motivates them, what derails them, and how to measure the gap between who someone is and what their environment asks them to be. I spent ten years watching that gap play out at scale across enterprise environments, building the data infrastructure to measure it.

The pattern was always the same: organizations make consequential decisions about people using systems never designed to understand them. Keyword-matching resumes. Engagement surveys nobody reads. Risk frameworks that count activity instead of measuring outcomes. The tools were wrong for the problem.

So I started building different ones. JobPolaris came from watching people — including myself — struggle to find work that fit who they were rather than just what they'd done. DyadQuotient applies the same instinct to relationships. Every application is anchored in validated psychometric research before a single line of code or AI prompt is written.

That's the through line. Not security. Not compliance. Human systems — and the tools that help people understand them.

Experience

2023 — Present

Lead Information Security Analyst — Cybersecurity Governance & Information Protection

Wells Fargo

Own the analytics layer for executive risk reporting. Architect Power BI dashboards tracking control alignment across thousands of assets, designed to tell a clear narrative rather than display metrics. Engineered Power Automate pipelines for assessment intake and notifications, cutting manual overhead out of the process. Led a governance platform rollout to 1,000+ users by treating adoption as a behavioral design problem, not an IT mandate.

2018 — 2023

Operational Risk Consultant — Information & Cyber Security

Wells Fargo

Directed the enterprise rollout of the ISRA risk assessment tool across thousands of applications. Reduced high-risk unmitigated findings by 15% by redesigning the workflow to eliminate ambiguity — visual documentation, clear accountability, direct coaching.

2017 — 2018

Senior Information Security Analyst

TIAA

Rebuilt the IT Risk user experience for 6,000+ employees based on direct user research — the feedback loop most security teams skip. Cut assessment cycle time by 25% and deployed Tableau dashboards that unlocked new operational visibility for leadership.

2013 — 2017

Information Security Analyst / IT Technical Associate

TIAA

Executed audit documentation, policy management, and project tracking across 1,500+ IT initiatives. Established a foundation in process rigor and clear communication within regulated financial environments.

Applied research

O*NET analysis

Human engagement as an AI-resistance signal

JobPolaris Research

Mapped occupational engagement — autonomy, growth, energizing work — against structural AI vulnerability across hundreds of careers. Pearson r = 0.50. Roles that treat people like machines are the easiest to automate.

248 occupations

Systems analysis, not persuasion, separates high-earning creatives

JobPolaris Research

Ran the most creatively demanding U.S. occupations through O*NET. The persuasion gap between high and low earners was a negligible +4 points; the systems analysis gap was +13 — worth an average of $40,048 per year.

JD-R model

Burnout as a structural output

JobPolaris Diagnostic

Built a diagnostic on the Job Demands-Resources model (Bakker & Demerouti) that profiles someone's demand/resource ratio and routes them to the intervention that actually fits — craft, pivot, upskill, or optimize.

Screening audit

Resume integrity under AI-era screening

JobPolaris Tools

Audited real resumes against current screening standards and shipped a free auditor for the markers that get candidates flagged: vague polish, integer bias, and artificially smooth timelines.

Education

Master of Arts — Industrial-Organizational Psychology

University of North Carolina – Charlotte · 2018

The research foundation behind every data system I build — psychometrics, measurement, and behavior in organizations. Member, Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology (SIOP) since 2017.

Bachelor of Science — Information Science

University of North Carolina – Chapel Hill · 2013

Minor in Public Relations, concentration in web development and communication theory. Graduated with Honors — technical depth paired with communication, the right combination for tools that must be both rigorous and human.
