With 30+ years in IT, I’ve worn many hats—starting as a curious software developer and evolving into a tech generalist with deep roots in both code and infrastructure. My career has been a mix of building, scaling, and reimagining systems, and I’m now focused on the exciting intersection of software and AI.

I began my journey as a software developer, where I fell in love with the craft of building. Over 15 years, I wrote code for everything—from low-level operating system concepts to high-level scripts, even creating my own programming language (complete with a compiler and interpreter!). I’ve worked across platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux, Android) and built software for web, desktop, servers, and mobile. My toolkit grew to include C, C++, C#, Java, Go, and TypeScript, with hands-on experience in ASP, PHP, .NET, Node.js, and a range of databases, messaging, and caching technologies. Those early years taught me to value clean, purposeful code—and the thrill of turning ideas into functional systems.

After a decade and a half in development, I shifted gears to tackle the backbone of tech: infrastructure. For 15 years, I worked with physical and cloud-based systems, managing environments for Windows and Linux, and getting deep into VMware, Azure, and AWS. This phase taught me to think holistically—how code interacts with servers, networks, and scalability. It was a natural evolution: understanding the "bigger picture" of where and how software runs made me a better developer.

These days, I’ve circled back to software development—but with a fresh perspective. Now, I focus on system design and architecture, leaving the hands-on coding to tools like Claude (though I still love geeking out over technical details!). My current passion? Building software that enhances human and developer experiences—especially by integrating AI to solve real problems, streamline workflows, or make tech more intuitive.

When I’m not diving into system diagrams or exploring AI’s latest capabilities, you’ll find me [optional: add a personal touch, e.g., "tinkering with side projects, hiking local trails, or cheering on my favorite sports team"].

Let’s connect—I’m always up for a conversation about tech, AI, or the next big idea!
