<h2>Hands-on systems builder with a digital infrastructure mindset</h2>
<h2>DevOps and Cloud Infrastructure Engineer with 10+ years of real systems ownership</h2>
</div>
<div class="content-grid">
<div class="card">
<p>
I'm a technical professional focused on digital systems, infrastructure, networking,
automation, and hands-on system integration. I build things that are practical,
reliable, and well-documented from homelab services and live dashboards to Raspberry Pi
deployments, APRS iGates, and complex troubleshooting workflows.
I'm a DevOps and Cloud Infrastructure Engineer focused on reliable delivery, container
orchestration, and cloud native infrastructure built for production conditions. I run an
18 node environment every day consisting of a 6 node Proxmox VE hypervisor cluster and
a 12 node K3s Kubernetes cluster with Prometheus monitoring, Grafana dashboards, and
VLAN-segmented networking. Not a lab. A production system.
</p>
<p>
My background blends field engineering, industrial technology, and infrastructure
problem solving. Increasingly I'm integrating AI tooling using LLMs for system
documentation, automated diagnostics, and workflow acceleration as part of how
modern infrastructure gets built and maintained.
I come from 10+ years in industrial digital systems at GE Aerospace and in the field
as a Level III engineer on aerospace inspection equipment. I understand what production
failure actually costs. That same operational discipline is what I bring to cloud native
infrastructure. I don't simulate environments. I run them.
