About

Experience ranging from SMBs to Enterprise.

I am an IT Systems Engineer with a decade of experience across identity, endpoints, and the automation that ties SaaS platforms together, backed by years of hands-on user support and infrastructure operations.

I have worked across nonprofit, healthcare, higher education, and managed services, supporting identity and access, Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, endpoint management, SaaS integration, email security, virtualization, and operational troubleshooting. I am comfortable in ticket-driven environments, communicating clearly with non-technical users, and documenting work so it is repeatable.
