Profile
I engineer self-sustaining, secure IT environments and write the tools that keep them that way.
Senior Systems Administrator with over 13 years driving multi-cloud modernization, identity security and enterprise infrastructure across the defense and commercial sectors. I replace legacy hybrid setups with scalable cloud environments, then build custom automation to streamline identity management and compliance workflows. Pairing deep systems administration experience with full-stack development skills is what sets my work apart.
