We need more leaders in Annapolis who have an operational background and real-world experience in Technology, Transportation, Cybersecurity, Smart Cities, and Software Development. I seek to use my decades of experience in software engineering, computer networking, cybersecurity, IoT/sensor networks and mobile technologies (as a technology subject matter expert across over a dozen federal agencies) to support Governor Hogan's technology & transportation initiatives and help the legislature properly address the technology challenges and opportunities facing Maryland.
