What I'm looking for
I am a multidisciplinary technologist who builds, troubleshoots, and refines complex systems—both software and industrial—to deliver reliable results in remote and on-site environments.

My industrial background includes 17 years as an industrial pipefitter and QA/QC on large chemical, LNG, electrolyzer, and refinery projects, plus recent work as a Level III maintenance technician solving high-dollar equipment failures, programming extruders, and implementing safety improvements.
I also design and publish indie games (Unreal Engine and Godot), have formal IT and computer science education, and hold certifications including NCCER+ Pipefitter, Certified Associate Weld Inspector, and OSHA30.
