Network Engineering Leader | Full-stack Technologist

Designing resilient networks and the software that powers them.

I build future-proof networks and the automation to keep them secure, observable, and fast. 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. Over the past two years I've worked as a private contractor for municipalities, enterprises, and agencies across Texas, delivering both network resiliency and the automation to sustain it.

Profile

Hybrid technologist bridging fiber, wireless, and software.

I'm a network engineer and software developer with a passion for marrying resilient infrastructure with clean code. 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. I pair hands-on field work with formal study in Computer Systems Networking and Telecommunications to stay on the leading edge of both hardware and software.
