Mobirise Website Builder

a passion for technology

From the dusty corners of a thrift store the late 90s, I discovered a hidden gem. Immediately thereafter, I embarked on a wild ride with an 8086 computer that could barely run a game of Solitaire. Those were the days when high density floppy disks were the pinnacle of technology, and I was the proud owner of a machine that could barely keep up with my imagination. But the adventure didn't stop there! That used "Epson Equity Ie" was the first of many vessels that take me on many epic sagas in the realm of Information Technology ever since.

current role

Fast forward to today, and here I am, a senior system administrator with a passion for all things tech. I’ve navigated the chaotic waters of IT, from battling viruses that felt like they were sent from the depths of hell to fighting an innocuous update from one of the most advanced antivirus protection that brought down thousands of clients and hundreds of servers. My journey has been nothing short of exhilarating, filled with late-night troubleshooting sessions and the occasional existential crisis over a critical service outage.

summary of experience

With over 20 years of experience across diverse IT roles, I’ve developed a broad and valuable skill set. My work has ranged from scripting batch files to map printers, to writing PowerShell functions for onboarding users in Active Directory. I’ve built software deployment packages, architected complex Citrix VDI environments from the ground up, created client OS images, and designed processes for deploying virtualized servers in vSphere. Each of these experiences has deepened my expertise and fueled my ongoing commitment to continuous learning in the ever-evolving world of IT.
