About

A career spent on both sides of IT

I've spent over two decades in IT, moving fluidly between enterprise support and software development because, frankly, I've never seen much of a line between the two. Most recently, I supported growth and onboarding infrastructure at CommonSpirit Health — Epic and Citrix environments, ServiceNow ticketing, Okta identity management, Active Directory, and on-site hardware deployments across a large healthcare system.

Outside of enterprise support, I build. I develop full-stack web applications in ASP.NET Core MVC with SQL Server and Entity Framework Core — everything from multi-tenant SaaS platforms to internal tools that solve a specific, real problem I ran into myself. I like learning by building: picking a problem, writing the code, deploying it, and iterating until it's genuinely useful.

When I'm not at a keyboard, I'm usually in the shop — woodworking, 3D printing, or tinkering with electronics and home improvement projects. Same instinct either way: figure out how something works, then make it better.

I'm currently open to new opportunities in IT infrastructure, application support, or software development roles — ideally something that uses both sides of what I do.
