I work in higher education IT, with a focus on infrastructure, cloud operations, identity, and systems integration. My background includes both academic teaching and hands-on systems administration, and I’m interested in the practical challenge of making large institutions run more cleanly and reliably.

The work I do lives at the intersection of Linux, Azure, scripting, APIs, and the often messy reality of institutional technology. I spend a lot of time thinking about automation, documentation, and the maintenance of systems that have accumulated years of assumptions, exceptions, and dependencies.

This site is where I write about that work. The topics may include cloud architecture, automation, identity, Linux, APIs, and the organizational problems that shape technical systems in higher education. I’m less interested in technology as a product than in technology as an operating environment in an organizational settings–something messy, human, and always embedded in institutional life.
