IT professional with 5+ years in infrastructure, transitioning to full-stack development. Building robust solutions with a foundation in network engineering and Linux systems.

01. About Me

Who I Am

I'm a versatile IT professional with a unique journey that bridges military service, enterprise network administration, and modern software development.

My path started in the U.S. Army, where I deployed and maintained mission-critical server infrastructure in both stationary and aircraft environments. This foundation taught me to thrive under pressure and deliver reliable systems when failure isn't an option.

After transitioning to civilian roles at Leidos and Insight Global, I honed my skills in Cisco networks, enterprise virtualization, and government IT infrastructure. Now, I'm channeling that operational expertise into full-stack development with Ruby on Rails.

What drives me:

  • Building elegant solutions to complex problems
  • Linux enthusiast & open-source advocate
  • Continuous learning through The Odin Project
  • Bridging infrastructure & application development
