About

I’m an IT infrastructure and automation engineer based in Myrtle Beach, SC. By day I keep the network and systems running at Myrtle Beach International Airport; on my own time I build web apps, self-host services and teach networking.

My strength is owning an environment end to end — cabling and VLANs up through servers, deployment and the application layer — and using AI-assisted development to move faster without cutting corners.
