About Me
I am a CompTIA A+ and Google-certified IT professional with a lifelong obsession for how things work. After years of managing complex projects and technical troubleshooting in the construction industry, I have pivoted my focus to digital infrastructure. Whether I'm building high-performance custom PCs, configuring cloud services in Azure and AWS, or developing AI projects on a Raspberry Pi 5, I thrive on solving the puzzles that keep systems running smoothly. My goal is to bring that same precision and dedication to a forward-thinking IT support team.
