One trajectory.

Live global broadcast, then viral social at planetary scale, then production AI inside Google, then building AI-native systems solo. The line fills as you scroll; every era anchors to real work in the archive.

WDRB Fox 41
Louisville

Overnight / Morning News Producer

The origin: owning two hours of a live morning block at a small-market station. When the Bhutto assassination broke during my overnight window, we beat the networks to air from Kentucky. The template for every rebuilt rundown since.

Al Jazeera English
The Stream

Founding-team Associate Producer

Launch night, May 2, 2011: the planned rundown abandoned when the bin Laden raid broke, and the man who unknowingly live-tweeted it booked on air, his follower count climbing from a few hundred to tens of thousands. Social-data journalism before that was a category.

HuffPost Live

Segment Producer

Streaming-first live news before streaming-first was normal. I originated and produced panels years ahead of their policy fights: PrEP six months after FDA approval, transgender service members before the Pentagon moved.

Fusion

Senior Producer · America With Jorge Ramos

Weekly primetime on the ABC/Univision joint venture, produced end to end: full episodes, election specials, field segments, and the 44-minute live special on Mandela's death built on a rebuilt rundown.

CNN · New Day

Writer / Producer · election cycle

Network morning television at full election pace: daily live segments through the 2016 primaries, guest pre-interviews, anchor briefings. One shot to land a story, no second take.

2016 · 2018

AJ+

Senior Producer

Viral social news at the top of its category-defining era. I ran a team during the years AJ+ reached 500 million weekly viewers, field-produced San Juan's mayor during active Hurricane Maria conditions, and made one piece that hit 50 million views on its own.

Corporate Engineering

Senior Communications & Content Strategist

Six years turning dense internal engineering into communication people actually watched. Video-first internal comms at a scale most newsrooms never touch, plus public recruitment and interview-prep video for Google's talent brand.
