About

High-leverage Engineer operating at the intersection of Cloud Infrastructure, Full-Stack Software Engineering, and AI automation.

I hold a System Development Diploma and have built a career bridging the gap between hardware reliability and scalable software architecture. My daytime focus on infrastructure and support is matched by an aggressive after-hours dedication to engineering modern web applications, mobile apps, and self-hosted deployments.

I don't just write code — I understand the infrastructure it runs on, the identity systems that secure it, and the business logic driving it. Equal parts systems thinker and product builder.

Currently, my work spans full-stack development (Next.js, Express, React Native, TypeScript), infrastructure engineering (Docker, Nginx, PostgreSQL), identity management (Authentik, LDAP, Entra ID), and enterprise automation (Power Platform, CI/CD).
