Building in the Digital Wilderness
I'm an outdoor enthusiast who finds inspiration in California's wilderness. You'll find me hiking Yosemite's trails, camping in the El Dorado National Forest, or capturing the raw beauty of the Sierra Nevada. I'm a Full-Stack Developer and Linux Systems Admin who loves architecting robust systems and breathing life into legacy infrastructure.
