Welcome to my corner of the public web.
The Professional
After spending 10+ years in internal IT in the higher education, manufacturing, and insurance industries, I made the switch to an IT consulting firm 5+ years ago and haven’t looked back. I lead a team of technical resources specializing in:
- Traditional on-prem systems engineering (Windows and Linux)
- Cloud engineering with a focus in Azure
- DevOps / DevSecOps
- Kubernetes
- Automation (Configuration management, infrastructure as code, etc.)
- Security (Endpoints, identity and access management, policy management, etc.)
- IP Development
The Personal
My family has made our home in central Illinois. We have definitely entered our homesteading era, with an ever-growing flock of chickens, an ever-expanding garden, and healthy dose of do-it-yourself industriousness.
My wife and I have been married for over 13 years and are blessed to have two daughters keeping us busy and humble. Outside of my time with computers, I also enjoy woodworking as a hobby as well as card / board games with friends. My wife is part owner/operator of a boutique pantry that specializes in breads, desserts, soups, and salads, looking to grow it into a brick-and-mortar location with an on-site refillery as well.
The Plan
This is a place for me to organize my thoughts, share what I’m working on, and explore new ideas and technologies. I’m very fortunate in that I’m able to regularly work on projects that align with my passions and hobbies. This space will likely contain a mixture of both my personal and professional experiences.
Let the experiment begin!
