what i do

I'm terminal native and platform agnostic, which is to say I will work most things, on most platforms. Always looking for something stranger to work on.

My best work is in:

• Automation, letting the computers do some, most or all of the work for you.
• Integration, connecting things and making things connectable.

Not clear enough? I work from the terminal and use built-in or light tools, letting me work with whatever OS you have, whatever it is running on and most things outside of that. I have over a decade of experience breaking, fixing and automating Windows, macOS and Linux, integrating APIs, applications, hardware and software, building data pipelines and keeping up with technology from all ends of the field. I am confident I can hit the ground running, lead, follow or simply get you from A to B and drop you off with a pamphlet. Whether it's getting data collected, a process automated, a robot integrated with AI or a digital mess cleaned: I can at least tell you where to start.
