About Me

Resume

Background

I'm a DevOps Engineer at SolarWinds with a focus on automation, reliability, and simplifying the developer experience. Coming from a software and security background, I approach problems with an engineering mindset and a curiosity for how systems behave.

When I'm not working, you'll usually find me exploring new tech, running my own home servers, or building small projects just to see what I can learn from them. I enjoy taking complex workflows and turning them into something cleaner, faster, and easier to use.

If you're interested in chatting, collaborating, or just saying hello, you can get in touch via my contact page.
