About Me

I'm a Systems Administrator with 15+ years of experience designing and managing enterprise infrastructure — from hyperconverged compute clusters and identity systems to security automation and cloud integrations.

I'm known for building solutions that are secure by design, not as an afterthought, and for closing skill gaps through hands-on practice before they become requirements on the job.

Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, serving multi-site environments across the region and beyond.
