Self-Taught Excellence

I didn't follow a traditional tech path. I built my skills through hands-on experimentation, deep dives into documentation, and plenty of late-night "ah-ha!" moments. That curiosity and passion for learning still drives me today.

Versatile Problem Solver

From full-stack development to systems administration to engineering resilient IT infrastructures, I've done it, built it, or fixed it. I thrive on crafting solutions that not only work but scale, evolve, and make life easier.

Community Impact

Beyond corporate work, I'm passionate about using technology to strengthen communities. I lead initiatives like Vegas Open Network, building fair and accessible internet infrastructure for underserved areas.
