Practical IT support.
Cloud-minded. Automation-curious.

I’m a U.S. Army veteran transitioning into IT with hands-on experience in help desk support, Windows/macOS troubleshooting, DNS triage, and AWS Active Directory environments. I like problems that have receipts: tickets, logs, and measurable fixes.
