About

Systems Analyst with over a decade and counting of experience managing enterprise infrastructure. During the day I handle network architecture, firewalls, and server operations. Outside of work I run a personal K3s cluster and build web services.

Role in Practice

My title is "Systems Analyst," but the day-to-day scope — ownership, decision-making, and the systems I'm accountable for — maps more closely to several senior engineering tracks:

  • Senior Systems Engineer (Infrastructure & Endpoint)
  • IT Infrastructure & Security Engineer (Senior)
  • Senior Network & Endpoint Security Engineer
  • Senior Endpoint / Modern Workplace Engineer (Intune-focused)
  • Senior Zscaler (SSE) Administrator / Engineer
