About

Curious by nature,
useful by design.

I'm an Infrastructure Engineer II and software developer with experience supporting large-scale enterprise environments, building automation, and developing web applications. My work spans Windows infrastructure, PowerShell and Ansible automation, full-stack development, and systems-oriented problem solving.

Outside of infrastructure and software engineering, I build games, experiment with shaders and interactive systems, and explore the intersection of technology and creative work.

Let's work together.

I'm open to technical artist roles, game tools engineering, creative technology, and infrastructure positions at studios and media companies. If you're building something where art and engineering meet — or if you're just curious about the background — I'd genuinely love to hear from you.
