I'm an IT-to-software engineer with a background in scripted systems administration, automation, and full-stack development. My edge is bridging operational IT work and software engineering — I've built tooling that turns multi-day manual processes into 30-minute scripted runs, and I'm equally comfortable in a backend codebase as I am in a Linux shell, an Active Directory console, or a customer-facing technical conversation.

As a Technology Specialist for a 3,000-student K–12 district, I automated endpoint and account workflows at scale across a 1:1 Chromebook deployment. I wrote Bash scripts to reconcile device inventory (cutting a recurring multi-day audit to ~30 minutes), automate resets and decommissioning, and manage Google Workspace account lifecycles. I also handled the Windows/AD side of the environment: GPO management, AD account and group administration, Hyper-V, switch resets, firewall rules, packet analysis, web filtering, and VM file migrations.

I completed Catalyte's full-stack apprenticeship building Java/Spring Boot backends and React frontends, including a full-stack patient portal. I picked up engineering habits through Agile, code reviews, sprint planning, pair programming, and mentoring later cohorts. I currently build solo projects in Godot/C# and maintain a vanilla JS corporate site plus its Zoho Mail/DNS infrastructure for a small business.

I'm most interested in backend, infrastructure, devtools, internal tooling, and forward-deployed/solutions engineering — roles where automation, legacy systems, and customer-facing technical work all show up.
