Origin signal

Curiosity became a systems practice.

Education

B.S. Computer Science

Minor in Mathematics

Appalachian State University · July 2025

01My path into technology started at 11 with basic HTML and CSS, then widened into Python, Java, small games, and the question that still drives my work: how do all these systems fit together?

02At Appalachian State University, computer science gave that curiosity structure. A mathematics minor sharpened the way I reason about systems; enterprise IT work gave me an arena where reliability and communication mattered as much as code.

03Today I work across product support, security engineering, cloud infrastructure, and production delivery at Everblue while building independent automation products through Vector Labs.

04The thread through all of it is systems thinking: understand the real workflow, remove repetitive effort, build the right layer of automation, and leave behind documentation that another engineer can trust.

Build protocol

How I approach the work.

Trace the real system

Start with the workflow, its operators, and its failure modes—not the framework.

Automate the repeatable

Move recurring operational work into observable, documented software.

Ship with evidence

Runtime signals, useful reporting, and reversible deployments belong in the product.

Leave a readable trail

Clear code and technical writing turn individual output into team capability.
