About

Self-taught.
Hands-on. No shortcuts.

I picked up my first computer at 12 years old and never really put it down. I taught myself everything -- from dial-up BBS systems to modern virtualization, from basic scripting to building full web applications and automated business workflows.

I have a degree, but that's not where I really learned. The classroom confirmed what I already knew -- over 30 years of breaking things and figuring out why is what taught me how systems actually behave, not just how they're supposed to.

My background spans customer service, site supervision, and IT support across real-world environments. I bring that same mentality to every build: find what's actually broken, fix it, make it stay fixed.

Automation software is part of my toolkit the same way a wrench is part of a mechanic's. Anybody can pick up a wrench. The question is whether you know enough to rebuild the engine.

What I Do

Services

⚙️

Workflow Automation

Repetitive tasks are expensive. I build pipelines that handle the busywork -- lead capture, data routing, notifications, and integrations -- so your team can focus on work that actually needs a human.

Web Development

Clean, functional websites and web apps built for actual use -- not just to look good in a demo. From simple landing pages to dynamic apps that pull from APIs and external data sources.
