About
I spent six years at PC Matic; most of it building macOS security infrastructure from scratch: designing classification workflows, writing automation that processed 10,000+ files per hour, and training the team that ran it. That experience shaped how I approach every problem: find the core issue, then build something that actually solves it.
I'm a methodical problem-solver who takes ownership quietly and delivers ahead of schedule.
