At the University of Houston, I administer Microsoft Entra ID access across two campuses and support data protection through system hardening, firewall configuration, and automated patch management. I also champion Microsoft 365 Copilot adoption, helping staff bring AI-assisted workflows into their daily work.

I led the Sugar Land and Katy campuses’ migration from on-premises file shares to SharePoint Online, provisioning departmental sites and Teams and training staff on cloud collaboration. As co-founder of DwelloMate, I configure connected smart home systems and guide clients with written system guides and troubleshooting walkthroughs.
