Biography
I am the Director of Technology and Innovation Software for Emerson's Test and Measurement business. With 25 years of experience in software innovation, I lead the development of advanced software technologies that power Emerson's Intelligent Test solutions, helping customers drive greater efficiency and success. I focus on accelerating innovation across our software portfolio by harnessing the latest advancements in technology.
Prior to my current role, I held several key positions within National Instruments (now Emerson's Test and Measurement business), contributing to flagship products such as NI LabVIEW and NI SystemLink.
I hold a Ph.D. in Computer Science from The University of Texas at Austin, where my research focused on the intersection of parallel programming, computer networking, and model-driven software engineering.
Experience
I have worked in various roles in leadership and development in the software industry for the last 25 years.
- BIOS developer at IBM
- Graduate Research Assistant and Postdoctoral Fellow at UT Austin while in academia
- Software engineer creating novel FPGA compiler transforms at Emerson T&M
- Engineering manager and eventually R&D Director at Emerson T&M
- Product Owner and manager of Product Owners for an entire product line at Emerson T&M
This breadth of experience all led to my current role directing the adoption of advanced technologies, such as generative AI, in the NI Software Platform.

Design by Transformation: Using agent mode I've
been able to build a UI for the work I did while in academia,
partially in my dissertation, but mainly as a postdoc. Building
UIs as a single researcher wasn't really possible in the late
2000s, but agent mode has been a game changer.
