Husband & Dad · Systems Engineer · Online Educator
Hi, I'm Alex Isidro. I'm a systems engineering professional in the Washington, D.C. defense and federal sector with over 15 years of experience supporting complex engineering programs and multi-billion-dollar initiatives. My work spans systems engineering, technical program management, project risk management, and research & development. I earned a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Virginia Tech in 2012.
I'm also the founder of Wealth Engineered, a personal finance media platform focused on helping people avoid the financial decisions that have the greatest long-term cost. The same systems-thinking and risk-management principles I apply to complex engineering programs are the foundation of the educational content I create about personal finance. I built the platform independently while continuing my full-time engineering career.
I believe the quality of your life is largely determined by the quality of your decisions — and better systems lead to better decisions.
