Trace the whole system
I follow a request from the user experience through code, data, containers, operating systems, networks, and the result someone actually needs.
Choose a color theme
GitHubI’m a systems-minded builder who likes getting close enough to a problem to see how the pieces fit. I move comfortably between requirements, code, documentation, infrastructure, and the people who have to use the result.
My work spans software, infrastructure, security, and operations. I enjoy following a request all the way through the system—from the first question to the practical outcome.
My MBA helps me connect technical decisions to cost, controls, customer outcomes, and adoption. It gives me a useful business vocabulary without losing sight of the work itself.
Tools that fit together
I build focused tools for AI-assisted workflows, with outcomes that can be reproduced, inspected, and improved.
That thread runs through the projects below: agent and plugin tooling, Linux and DevOps practice, data and civic visualization, automation, and the web. I like work that makes a boundary clearer or a useful capability easier to pick up and use.
How I work
Make decisions explicit
I prefer clear requirements, documented trade-offs, repeatable workflows, and small tools that another person can inspect and pick up.
Stay attentive and pragmatic
I stay curious without losing my footing. The technical answer still has to fit the mission and the people who will live with it.
Steward the toolchain
I choose tools for the problem at hand, pay attention to how they interact, and look after the systems I depend on.

Selected evidence
Infrastructure and controls
POS/payment systems, wireless, surveillance, virtualization, iSCSI storage, remote support, PCI/DSS controls, and practical extension of legacy environments.
Software and automation
Bash, Python, Node.js, Next.js, REST APIs, data parsing, OCI containers, Nginx, Google Civic API integrations, and operational workflow tools.
AI developer tooling
Current self-directed practice includes Git BBQ, Codex task tooling, MCP servers, plugins, agent workflows, local inference, observability, and context systems. This is developing practice, not prior production AI employment.
Requirements and adoption
My work connects implementation to cost, controls, training, handoff, client requirements, and the practical conditions that make a system useful after launch.
Education & certifications
My education combines business fluency with hands-on software, data, systems, and operational practice.

What I’m building toward
I’m interested in helping AI software teams ship useful tools, supporting the infrastructure around them, and translating business requirements into software people can work with. Good documentation, clear boundaries, and thoughtful automation should make the next step easier—not make the system feel mysterious.
Good systems make room for better work.
