Grateful to share some exciting news: I've joined AECOM as Emerging Technologies Senior Manager! 🎉
First, my deepest thanks to the Jacksonville Transportation Authority team. Leading the nation's first permanent automated vehicle public transit service—from design through commercial launch in June 2025—was only possible because of the vision, dedication, and technical excellence of executive leadership, senior leaders, and colleagues across the organization.
Together, we proved that first-of-its-kind deployments succeed when teams align around safety, innovation, and public service.
To my Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada colleagues: thank you for trusting me with ambitious projects that shaped my understanding of what's possible when agencies embrace a committment to innovation.
Through these experiences, I've learned that transforming transportation isn't about technology alone—it's about building trust with communities, navigating complex regulations, and partnering with teams who share a vision for better mobility and safer streets. It's about turning ambitious ideas into operational reality while never compromising on safety.
Now, I'm excited to bring these experiences to AECOM, where I'll partner with clients across the US West/Greater West Regions to deploy innovative solutions in automated vehicles/connected vehicles, AI/ML, data analytics, and intelligent transportation systems.
The mission hasn't changed: leverage emerging technologies to create safer, more accessible transportation with the ultimate goal of zero roadway fatalities.
To transportation leaders and professionals in my network: let's connect. I'd love to hear about the challenges you're tackling and explore how we can work together to advance safer, smarter mobility. 🚀
