I'm a Systems Engineer living in Santa Barbara, CA and I believe that technology should enable us to have better lives. I have a proven ability to successfully take on new technologies with industry best practices and transform them into functional and positive user experiences.
20+ years in a professional setting. Many more spent outside the office on personal projects, consulting and self-education.
Able to explain complex systems, concepts and issues in simple and clear terms. My documentation methods are meticulous and I love knowledge sharing.
I take pride in spotting system trends before others. If a task is repeatable, I’ll find a way to automate it.
