BACKGROUND
Hands-on, systems-first problem solving.
My technical experience is mostly hands-on. I enjoy diagnosing problems, fixing devices, testing systems, and building small tools or websites that make things easier to manage.
Through school, internships, freelance work, and personal projects, I’ve worked with hardware, classroom technology, websites, virtual machines, Linux servers, Docker containers, networking concepts, domains, hosting, and Cloudflare-backed web setups.
