After an incredible 3+ years at Shield AI, the time has come for me to move on to my next opportunity and I couldn't be more excited about what's ahead. I'm staying firmly rooted in defense tech here in the DFW area, continuing to do work I'm passionate about in a space that genuinely matters. If you're in the industry or nearby and want to connect, my door is always open. To the team at Shield AI, thank you! The people and the mission made this chapter one I'll carry with me. I'll be cheering you on from the sidelines every step of the way. On to the next. 🚀 #DefenseTech #SupplyChain #DFW #OpenToConnect

The team at Shield AI is obsessed with excellence - striving to be the very best in the world at our jobs. Personally, I just love to see it - in sports, business, art, you name it. So, it's fun to watch this robot, built by a team of high school kids, absolutely dominate its competition - besting 3700 other team. I'm particularly impressed with 4414's ability to accurately shoot, maneuver, and reload super fast, at all the same time.
