I grew up on MySpace and fixing my parents' computer. Self-taught from the start — which came with some low confidence early on — but every road I tried eventually curved back to computers and Python.

Being self-taught made me good at one thing above everything else: finding the right resource, making sense of it fast, and putting it into practical terms for the people around me. Working mostly on internal-facing tooling teams — SaaS support, identity lifecycle, developer enablement — I pick up problems I don't fully know yet, figure them out to completion, and document them in ways my teammates actually want to read.

Over 6+ years across DevOps, platform engineering, and software engineering, I've built CI/CD workflows at The Home Depot responsible for building, scanning, testing, and deploying into Kubernetes infrastructure. I've led efforts to simplify Terraform-heavy operational workflows, and built Grafana dashboards that turned noisy systems into something teams could actually reason about.

Whether it's a SaaS integration or my own product, I don't live by "good enough." I want things done quickly, thoroughly, safely — and with some pizzaz. That's the standard I hold for everything I touch.
