Background
Technology appeals to me because every problem presents an opportunity to build something better. What began as an interest in computers via videogames grew into a career focused on helping businesses solve technical challenges, improve their operations, and make technology work.
I help businesses strengthen their technology by delivering reliable IT solutions and modern, high-performing websites. As an independent IT contractor, I work closely with clients to understand their goals and provide practical solutions. My experience spans systems administration, endpoint management, Microsoft 365, Active Directory, and responsive web development, allowing me to bridge the gap between technical infrastructure and user experience.
My education includes a Bachelor of Busines Administration from Univeristy of Wisconsin-Whitewater. When the Pandemic hit, I took the opportunity to pivot into web development. To get started,I learned the basics through Learn with Leon's free bootcamp. Then I got an associates degree from Madison Area Technical College in DevOps.
How I work
- Discovery: I start by understanding the problem and the user's needs
- Design: clean and functional interfaces
- Development: Fast, responsive websites with maintainable code.
- Async-first: I send clear updates and don't need micromanaging
Outside of code
While coding is interesting and rewarding, I value a healthy work life balance. I enjoy spending time with my family through all types of games, and express my love through cooking meals for them. I also enjoy reading, and indulging my new hyperfixation (currently poker).
