About Me

I'm a passionate technologist with extensive experience building, scaling, and securing cloud-native applications. My expertise spans backend development, DevOps, cloud architecture, and SaaS solutions for organizations of all sizes.

My Journey

My career has been defined by a passion for technology and a drive to solve complex problems. From my early days as a ColdFusion developer to founding and building an entire ISP from the ground up, I've always been drawn to challenges that push the boundaries of what's possible.

At NetWORLD Connections, I had the incredible opportunity to build an entire internet service provider from scratch. This included developing all the accounting systems, customer billing platforms, a software repository, and one of the first web-based email portals. We became the second-leading provider in Salt Lake City and successfully deployed a city-wide wireless network.

Currently, I'm diving deep into AI/ML and keeping up with the latest tech trends while enjoying every moment with my grandkids. I'm always eager to learn something new—especially about AI (before it takes over the world!).
