Open to IT systems engineering & software engineering roles

I build systems and software that serve a real purpose.

I administer hybrid Azure and Microsoft 365 environments, virtualized infrastructure, and enterprise networks. On the development side, I build software and embedded systems, working mainly in C++ and Python.
