LinkedIn is my resume. This is my brain.
I'm a customer-facing technical engineer who has spent 15+ years helping non-technical people understand deeply technical things; ZTNA, 5G, MDM, Agentic AI, and whatever the next acronym is. That's the day job. This GitHub is everything else: the projects I'm building, the civic tools I care about, the vibe coding sessions at 1am, and the homelab configs that definitely work on the third try.
I learn tech best by using it. So I use a lot of it. And most of the time it works!

Sr. Solutions Engineer; 15 years at T-Mobile Customer-facing technical engineer. I translate ZTNA, 5G, MDM, Agentic AI, and whatever else into language that non-technical stakeholders can actually act on. Next Role: |
Open-source tools for government transparency, campaign finance tracking, and community organizing in Arizona. Democracy needs good software; and good data. Self-hosted infrastructure running Docker, NGINX, Cloudflare, mergerfs, and rclone across bare metal and cloud. I learn tech best by using it. |

Mainly indie. Always indie at heart.
I use AI tools (primarily Claude) in my development workflow — for coding, writing,
and open-source contributions. I direct the approach, review all output, and make
the final calls. Think of it like pair programming where I'm driving.
I'm the author. AI is my editor.
All AI-assisted contributions are disclosed per project requirements.
[x] All personal devices enrolled in Cloudflare ZTNA Access
[x] Strict MFA + end-to-end encryption on every endpoint
[x] Cloudflare bot management & WAF active on all public-facing sites
[x] If you're reading this, you passed the bot check. Congrats.
