ABOUT

I enjoy understanding how systems connect — and why they fail.

My background combines software engineering, technical support, and customer-facing work. I like moving between application code and infrastructure: tracing a failed connection, testing DNS, checking a port, integrating systems, automating repetitive work, or explaining a technical issue clearly to someone else.

I’m particularly interested in early-career roles spanning network engineering, cloud infrastructure, implementation, solutions engineering, and backend systems.
