My Story

About Me

Hello, and thank you for visiting my website! I am an Information Systems Engineer with a track record of supporting and optimizing enterprise infrastructure and day-to-day technology operations. I thrive in bridging the gap between core systems administration and modern cloud practices. Alongside my expertise in Microsoft 365, technical support, and systems administration, I bring hands-on experience with Azure, SecOps, and Identity & Access Management (IAM). I actively integrate cyber security principles and cloud security best practices to harden systems without disrupting the end-user experience. My ultimate goal is to design, manage, and secure trustworthy technology environments where systems are stable, data is protected, and security is built into everyday operations.

When I step away from the screen, my favorite way to reset is over a game of chess. Having played since I was four years old, it is a lifelong passion that I truly enjoy. I am also a massive sports fan, regularly keeping up with the NBA as well as European and South American soccer. I am an avid reader who is always looking for a great new book to dive into, and I have a deep appreciation for language and culture. I specifically wanted to learn Italian, so I dedicated myself to studying the language to reach a level of professional proficiency. Whether I am securing a cloud environment or plotting my next chess move, I am always thinking a few steps ahead.
