I build software tools and websites that solve the hard problems — networks, systems, and the things people actually want to use. Currently an IT Support Analyst, chasing work that's worth building.
I'm a developer with a Bachelor of Computer & Information Sciences in networks, cybersecurity and software development. By day I run top-tier IT support and Windows system administration across the Microsoft cloud stack — which means I sit right next to real users, every day, watching exactly where software and hardware let them down.
Off the clock I'm homelabbing, stargazing, and chasing physics, engineering and mechanics — I'll happily pull an engine apart to tune it for more power. Same instinct everywhere: see the problem, work out how it really fits together, and make it work.
I've been around boats my whole life — sailing and the water have always been home, where I go to unwind. When I'm not on the water I'm out hiking or sharing good time with friends. Health and training shape how I live, and how I think about helping people: understand where someone really is, then actually make things better for them.
Tested a full WiFi 7 (802.11be) network. Benchmarked real-world throughput, latency and other performance metrics against theoretical models, documenting the full process every step of the way.
A swipe-first app for matching people with personal trainers — pairing my interest in fitness with a clean, fast TypeScript front end.
View repo ↗An always-on lab for self-hosting, virtualization and network security experiments — where most of the hard problems get solved before they ever go live.
The site you're on — a hand-built, fully animated coastal portfolio with a live canvas depth-map background, mouse parallax and scroll reveals. No templates, just modern tools used well.
Providing top-tier support across Windows systems and system administration, working to ITIL procedures. Day to day I manage endpoints with Microsoft Intune, handle Active Directory, and provision machines with Windows Autopilot — running the full Azure stack to manage devices and support internal end users.
Sitting at wrap-around level-1 support has been the real edge: I see exactly where users hit friction every day, which is precisely the knowledge that lets me build better software.
Majored across networks, cybersecurity and software development — the three threads I've been weaving together ever since, and now building on with real-world experience.
Taught one-on-one guitar to kids and supported students as a programming TA at university. Both taught me to break hard ideas into simple, learnable steps — and that helping someone finally get it is its own kind of problem-solving.
A hands-on engineer at heart — hobby astronomer, hooked on physics and engineering, with practical mechanical knowledge from working on machines and tuning them for maximum performance. I work by intuition: see the problem, understand how it really fits together, and make it work.
