About Me

Hello, I am an Infrastructure Engineer with over 30 years of experience with on-premise, hybrid, and cloud-native environments. I have spent most of my career in Higher Education, but have also worked in Public Safety and Corporate environments. Currently I am a Senior Systems Engineer at a Chicago based University and I volunteer at the Adler Planetarium's Far Horizons program.
