Systems & Automation Engineer

Building reliable systems through automation.

I focus on practical, maintainable automation that reduces manual work, improves operational visibility, and makes systems easier to support. I'm currently building a Windows patching automation & reporting project to showcase modern, real-world reliability work.

About

Who I Am

I'm a systems-minded engineer with a strong background in automation, production support, and operational problem-solving. I like work that turns manual, error-prone processes into repeatable routines with clear logs, safe defaults, and documentation.

Right now, I'm focused on DevOps-adjacent portfolio projects that demonstrate reliability thinking: patching workflows, reporting, validation, and runbooks. My goal is to join a team where I can reduce operational toil and help systems stay healthy over time.

Primary Portfolio Project

Patching Compliance Automation & Reporting

A PowerShell automation project that models a real patching workflow: scheduling, validation, logging, and reporting. Built to demonstrate reliability thinking and clear operational documentation.

Project Notes

This project demonstrates recent hands-on DevOps automation work using PowerShell 7. It separates inventory state from approved patch policy, evaluates compliance, and generates an actionable report. Built using feature branches and pull requests to reflect real-world engineering workflows.
