About

I'm an outdoor enthusiast who finds inspiration in California's wilderness. You'll often find me hiking Yosemite's trails, camping in the El Dorado National Forest, or capturing the raw beauty of the Sierra Nevada. This passion for exploration extends to my technical work, where I bring the same creativity and resilience to architecting robust systems and leading development teams.

Professional Focus: Full-Stack Developer and Linux Systems Administrator specializing in Vue.js, Laravel, Node.js, cloud architecture, and DevOps. My firefighting background taught me resilience under pressure - skills I bring to every development project and team I lead.

I'm passionate about bridging technology and creativity. Follow my photography journey on Instagram (@RusticXploit) where I share visual stories from the Sierra Nevada. I'm exploring how to blend my technical expertise with narrative artistry through photo and video. Looking ahead, I'm excited to launch a local tech community, and create a fire service focused jobs board that connects talented firefighters with agencies in need.
