Experience & capabilities

Background

A hands-on technical generalist working across physical and digital systems.

My experience spans IT, networking, low-voltage systems, commercial AV, automation, electrical work, troubleshooting, and system design. Much of my career has involved working across disciplines, learning unfamiliar systems quickly, and figuring out how the pieces fit together.

More recently I’ve extended that background into software and infrastructure, building custom tools and experimenting with databases, automation, containers, AI-assisted development, and larger system architectures.
