Infrastructure engineer.
Game developer.
Storm watcher.

I've been keeping servers upright since 2000. These days I also build a game about squirrels with a legal department, and I watch radar the way other people watch sports.

01 / WORK · POWER: ON

Twenty-five years of turning it off and on again. Professionally.

Enterprise infrastructure across Windows Server, VMware and the networks underneath them. I've run IT and facilities for multi-site operations, carried the on-call phone, and done the root cause analysis afterward.

Make me do something twice and I streamline it. Three times and I automate it, usually before anyone thinks to ask. Call it laziness with a change log. One tool I built pre-filled the tickets for server builds and took the paperwork from 45 minutes down to 5.

02 / ATLAS LABS

The Acorn Protocol

I'm the founder and lead developer of Atlas Labs, a one-human, two-dog game studio. Our first game is an immersive sim looter-shooter where interdimensional squirrels confiscate your gear when you die. Coming to Steam and Xbox in 2028.

03 / OFF THE CLOCK

Storms

SkyWarn-trained spotter. If there's a severe thunderstorm watch, I already know.

Gaming

Steam and Xbox. My backlog is big enough to need its own change management process, and I keep approving new additions anyway.

Homelab

Home Assistant, home automation, and more monitoring than one household needs.
