About

How I Can Help

I'm a systems and automation engineer with deep experience in the Microsoft ecosystem: PowerShell, Python, SQL, and KQL. I've spent my career making complex operational work simpler, turning manual processes into documented, repeatable workflows that teams can actually rely on.

I'm currently expanding into Microsoft security operations and pursuing my SC-200 certification. If your team is drowning in manual work, sitting on a backlog of automation projects, or dealing with scripts that have outgrown their original design, that's exactly the kind of problem I like to solve.

Featured Project

Patching Compliance Automation & Reporting

A PowerShell automation project that models a real-world patching workflow: scheduling, validation, logging, and compliance reporting. Built to demonstrate the kind of reliable, well-documented operational tooling that production environments actually need.

What it shows

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.

Checkers Game

A fully playable browser-based checkers game built from scratch in vanilla JavaScript. Included as an example of end-to-end delivery: clean logic, iterative refactoring, and shipping something polished.

More coming soon: KQL detection rule library and automation playbooks are actively in progress.

Work Together

Let's solve something together.

Have a backlog of manual IT work, a pile of automation projects that never got off the ground, or scripts that need a second life? I would love to hear about it.
