hands-on IT operator, consultant, and builder

I build practical tools across infrastructure, healthcare IT, and AI systems that people can actually use.
10+ years across Google, Apple, telecom, healthcare IT, and independent consulting. Strong on Microsoft 365, infrastructure, troubleshooting, and the messy integration work between "this should work" and "it works now."
I like honest advice, useful tools, and fixes that survive contact with reality.
