What I'm looking for

I seek roles that combine hands-on infrastructure and security ownership with opportunities to build scalable AI/automation systems, prioritize security-first culture, and drive measurable operational improvements.

I am a senior IT systems engineer and AI hardware architect with deep experience designing high-availability infrastructure, security-driven DevSecOps practices, and automation that reduces manual workload. I have deployed colocated server clusters for local LLM inference, built full-stack web interfaces for model access, and created multi-agent analytics tools to surface operational insights from a decade of data.

I consistently drive process improvements and security posture enhancements—implementing SSO/MFA, migrating legacy Active Directory to Entra Joined zero-touch flows, and automating repetitive tasks to reclaim hundreds of team hours weekly. My background spans system engineering, SQL optimization, VoIP, network architecture, and hands-on software development, enabling me to deliver reliable, secure, and scalable solutions for enterprise and MSP environments.
