I have come to understand that public systems are not simply technical structures. They are moral infrastructures. When they falter, the consequences are never abstract. The burden falls most heavily on those with the least power to carry it. That truth has shaped more than twenty-five years of my work in education, technology, and governance.



Today, I serve as Executive Director of the Office of Systems and Analytics at the New York City Department of Education. In this role, I lead technology and data governance for the Office of the General Counsel, which comprises over 400 attorneys and legal staff, and I am responsible for shaping how our systems align with the broader mission of the nation's largest school system. My work is about building systems that endure, that safeguard due process, and that provide outcomes families and educators can depend upon. It is also about ensuring that we are wise and faithful stewards of the public’s trust and of the people’s taxes.

In recent years, my team has scaled Thomson Reuters’ HighQ platform with more than one hundred and fifty automations, including forty-nine distinct legal communications that are customized to meet the specific needs of families in different circumstances. These efforts have streamlined workflows across three major offices, modernized how we serve families, and ensured that resources are managed with care. We have also built analytics frameworks that allow senior leadership to govern due process at scale while strengthening fiscal responsibility.



I see myself as a bridge builder. I work to connect institutions, policymakers, and technology partners so that innovation translates into systems worthy of the people they are meant to serve. This work requires vision, but it also demands care. It requires leadership that can hold together both the human stakes and the technical architecture of a public system, always with an eye toward serving the common good and protecting the public’s investment.
