About Me
Senior technology leader with 20+ years of experience driving automation, infrastructure resilience, and cross-platform integration across enterprise environments.
I started my career in the trenches — server/database/network administration and troubleshooting complex Linux/Windows systems — and grew into a strategic management role where I lead high-performing teams and shape technical direction.
Today, I combine deep technical credibility with operational foresight to deliver scalable, secure, and future-proof solutions. I'm passionate about aligning technology with business outcomes, mentoring engineers, and building cultures that value clarity, accountability, and innovation.
I currently lead infrastructure and automation initiatives from Holly Springs, NC, and am focused on expanding into executive leadership. My goal is to amplify impact through vision, strategy, and systems thinking — whether that's through enterprise transformation or open-source collaboration.
I'm also the creator of Netureon, a Python-based network monitoring and profiling tool that reflects my commitment to hands-on innovation and AI integration.
Known for being methodical, persistent, and forward-thinking, I bring a strategic mindset and a bias for action to every challenge. I believe great systems — and great teams — are built with intention, adaptability, and a clear sense of purpose.
