Career Profile

My programming journey began with computer security, sparking a curiosity that grew into something broader: seeing problems from both technical and human angles. Over the years, I’ve put this approach to work across general IT, healthcare IT, software development, and architecture roles. I love learning new systems and technologies, but I’m equally interested in understanding the people who use them. This combination helps me build solutions that work well in the real world.
