About me

If you look at my resume, you’ll see two stories. One is a list of job titles that shows a history of showing up, working hard, and serving others.

The other story is the one that defines me: a roughly 20-year obsession with building, breaking, fixing, and improving computer-based systems.

For a significant stretch of time, my primary work was largely invisible. I stepped away from a more obvious trajectory in media and sales to help care for a family member with a terminal illness, from diagnosis to end-of-life.

That experience didn’t just teach resilience — it clarified my values. In technology, words like uptime and reliability are often abstract. In real life, they carry human weight.

What I do

  • 🖧

    Infrastructure

    Linux systems, reverse proxies, SSL, DNS, Proxmox, backups, and reliable self-hosted foundations.

  • Development

    HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Laravel, WordPress, automation, internal tooling, and practical full-stack delivery.

  • Operations

    Process improvement, triage, documentation, handoffs, and systems thinking that actually survives contact with reality.

  • Community Tech

    Technology work grounded in local needs, small organizations, nonprofits, and community-scale platforms.

Core principles

  • Reliable over clever
  • Document everything
  • Automate after stability
  • Build for real humans
