Self-driven IT technologist based in Denver, CO.
I build, break, troubleshoot, and improve systems with a focus on reliability, practical automation, and real user support.
Right now, I maintain EZ-Quiz, a live AI-powered web application used by real people. That project has pushed me into the kind of work I enjoy most: debugging real problems, improving user experience, reading logs, testing changes, documenting fixes, and making systems easier to operate.
