02About

I'm a bit of a jack-of-all-trades when it comes to tech — code, web development, networking, systems administration. For four years that meant keeping the IT side running, most recently as a Systems Administrator at Zero Motorcycles, looking after a Microsoft Azure and on-premise setup for 300–400 people across several countries.

For the past year-and-a-half I've been on my own through a small LLC, mostly tinkering with AI — connectors that let AI reach real systems, command-line helpers, and a small platform for running them. Now thinking about what's next — IT, infrastructure, AI, or wherever those overlap. Born and raised here, and still in Aptos.

Hybrid Azure environment

Four years as a Systems Administrator — identity, networking, and device management for ~400 people across multiple offices and countries. Kept it quiet and predictable.

Custom in-house web tools

Small apps and dashboards built to display data, glue APIs together, and automate the workflows a team has outgrown. Quick to ship, friendly to maintain, designed for the humans who actually use them.

Small tools for AI

Two flavors: connectors that let AI reach real systems (small servers in MCP format), and command-line helpers that live in the terminal and actually do the work — not chat boxes that paste code at you.
