About / Philosophy

I bring over two decades of practical IT experience and a customer-focused approach to every support interaction. I prefer simple, durable solutions over quick fixes — documenting reliable steps so users and IT colleagues can repeat them. I enjoy bridging the gap between technical systems and the people who rely on them.
