Network Engineering Leader | Multiplatform Developer

Designing resilient networks, mobile apps, and web experiences.

I build future-proof networks and the software that keeps them secure, observable, and fast—and I love pairing that infrastructure with user-facing products. I ship Android and Windows apps, prototype Swift/SwiftUI experiences for Apple platforms, and craft clean WordPress builds when a fast marketing site is the right tool. Since 2019 I've deployed industrial-grade fiber, copper, and wireless architectures across the Southwest while coding in C, C++, Python, Java, and Kotlin to orchestrate and optimize the infrastructure.

Profile

Hybrid technologist bridging fiber, wireless, software, and apps.

I'm a network engineer and software developer with a passion for marrying resilient infrastructure with clean code and polished user experiences. My path started in systems administration and quickly scaled into architecting city-wide wireless backbones, building high-availability data center networks, and writing automation that keeps everything observable and secure. Along the way I've built Windows and Android apps, prototyped Swift/SwiftUI interfaces for Apple devices, and shipped numerous WordPress sites when clients need fast, maintainable web presence.
