For nearly two decades I’ve led complex, safety-critical integration at global scale — most recently as Senior Manager of Global Feature Systems Engineering and Autonomous Vehicle Software Architecture & Integration at Ford Motor Company.

I took the first Ford team that successfully deployed autonomous vehicles on public roads. I owned end-to-end architecture, cloud-to-vehicle integration, embedded systems, and validation & verification across 150+ features for high-volume programs. I turned vague strategies into zero-defect launches, cut Feature Change Management steps by 40%, reduced carryover engineering by 30%, and delivered $330K in production cost savings on a single program — all while meeting ISO 26262, ASPICE, and FMVSS requirements.

I don’t just advise. I design quality into the system from day one, eliminate unnecessary process, and drive cross-functional teams to ship faster and more reliably. That same obsession with execution is why I co-founded Kwelity, LLC: to close the strategy-execution gap for organizations in automotive, mobility, healthcare, and regulated industries.

Whether it’s autonomous ecosystems, connected vehicle platforms, or enterprise-scale digital transformation, I bring the same first-principles mindset: understand the physics of the problem, remove everything that doesn’t add value, and deliver measurable results.

Recognition • 2023 BEYA Modern-Day Technology Leader Award — honored for leadership, innovation, and impact in engineering.

Born in Seattle and educated at Wells College (B.A. Mathematical & Physical Sciences, Computer Science concentration), I still code, still debug, and continuously innovate. I’m a wife, mother of three, and relentless builder who believes the best technology is the kind that ships on time, works as intended, and actually moves the company forward.

If you’re trying to turn ambitious technical vision into reality — faster, safer, and with fewer defects — let’s talk.
