about me*
software engineer. i like building useful things.
Automation, internal tools and web apps, plus games, 3D, hardware and music on the side.
I'm a deployment technical lead who builds the tooling the deployments run on. Over two years and 16,000+ devices across healthcare, higher-ed, agriculture and hospitality, I wrote the PowerShell, Python and SQL automation behind them in house.
Most recently that was USMT Dash, a web dashboard over SCCM that took a six-person team from 10 machine builds a day to 25. Now I'm looking for my next role as a software engineer.
Outside work I run a homelab, model in Blender, build games in Godot and Unity, make hardware and play guitar. All of it ends up on this site.
