# Hi, I'm John Solly

Health-IT Division CTO at Leidos, leading digital modernization for federal health and benefits agencies. This is my personal website.

## About this site

[jsolly.com](https://www.jsolly.com/) is a small static site: who I am, how to reach me, and pointers to the work I publish elsewhere. It is not a product, docs portal, or corporate site for Leidos.

I spent most of my career building spatial systems — at Esri, startups, and federal agencies. I now lead technology strategy for Leidos' Health IT division, supporting agencies such as SSA, VA, and HHS. My primary focus is the convergence of spatial computing and AI: helping machines interpret the physical world and applying that to missions that matter.
