I’m an IT expert who prioritizes your uptime and your experience with technology over tech jargon. Let’s build a tailored suite of technology—hardware, software, cloud apps, and automations—that keeps your operations running smoothly.
My mission is to help your organization operate more efficiently, smoothly, and reliably. With decades of experience in automating production and communications, I have a deep and broad understanding of the modern tools you likely use every day. By leveraging no-code platforms like Zapier and Make, I can supercharge these tools to automate every aspect of your workflow. Whether it's Airtable, Slack, Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Notion, Asana—you name it—I can help your team save time and eliminate headaches in everything they do.
The possibilities of automation are endless. Picture this: When one task is triggered, multiple other tasks are automatically set in motion. For instance, when someone submits a contact request on your website, they are instantly entered as a lead in HubSpot, and a new project is created in Asana, assigned to the next available account rep. When your team logs billable hours, they are tracked in Airtable and linked to the appropriate QuickBooks project. After a client meeting, you can receive a transcription, an AI-generated summary with action items added to Notion, and the client receives a personalized thank-you email.
My expertise includes:
• Implementing IT and networking solutions for businesses and households
• Storage, backups, and security
• Mobile device management (MDM)
• Pre-purchase decisions
• Workflow and productivity
• Automation of work, home, and life
• Paperless solutions
• One-on-one and group training
• Technical writing

I’m a Cloud Architect, Infrastructure Engineer, and Cybersecurity Consultant (CISM) with 13+ years of experience designing, securing, and modernizing enterprise infrastructure across military, federal, and commercial environments. My background spans AWS cloud architecture, systems engineering, DevSecOps, cybersecurity, and infrastructure modernization, with hands-on experience leading projects from planning through production support.
I specialize in helping organizations solve real operational problems, whether that means stabilizing legacy infrastructure, reducing AWS spend, improving security posture, modernizing deployments, or building scalable cloud environments that can support growth, compliance, and long-term operational stability.
Over the years, I’ve worked across high-pressure environments including U.S. Navy shipboard infrastructure, Fleet Cyber Command vulnerability assessments, enterprise systems administration, and independent consulting work for startups and SMBs. I personally handle architecture, implementation, troubleshooting, automation, documentation, and client communication throughout the lifecycle of a project.
My technical experience includes:
• AWS architecture and infrastructure modernization
• Terraform and Infrastructure as Code deployments
• DevSecOps and CI/CD implementation
• Linux and Windows systems administration
• Hybrid cloud and migration projects
• Vulnerability remediation and security hardening
• Cost optimization and performance tuning
• Technical project leadership and infrastructure advisory
In addition to hands-on engineering work, I’m comfortable operating in fractional technical leadership roles where organizations need senior-level guidance alongside implementation. My combination of technical experience, business education, and prior business ownership allows me to work effectively with both technical teams and leadership stakeholders when aligning infrastructure, security, budgeting, and operational goals.
Recent projects have included multi-tenant AWS billing automation pipelines, cloud cost optimization initiatives saving clients over $100K, CI/CD modernization efforts, and infrastructure rebuilds focused on scalability, resiliency, and operational simplicity.
My approach is straightforward: security, reliability, and cost optimization should be engineered into the environment from the beginning, not bolted on later.
