Who I Am

IT Systems Administrator with a Bachelor of Computer Science from Thompson Rivers University. I work across L1/L2 support, network infrastructure, and systems administration — currently at Stryker Electronics in Port Hardy, BC.

I've deployed infrastructure for emergency operations serving 500+ users under wildfire conditions, cut device setup times by 75%, and built internal tools that measurably reduced overhead. I like solving real problems and leaving systems in better shape than I found them.
