About
I'm an experienced technical professional living in Chicago, with over a decade of experience in the tech industry.
I started my tech career in tech support, which gives me a unique perspective on the user experience. I've worked my way from help desk to systems administration to infrastructure engineering. I've held positions at a start-up, with the federal government, and in higher education.
When I am not in front of a computer, you can find me reading in a good book, playing cozy games on my Nintendo Switch, exploring the outdoors with my dog, at a museum, or enjoying various fitness pursuits.
