12+ years managing enterprise infrastructure for organizations up to 30,000 users. I specialize in Microsoft Azure, identity management, and workflow automation — staying close to how things actually work, testing thoroughly, and sharing what I learn along the way.

Designed and tested an agentic AI assistant at Sedgwick to handle scheduling, email triage, and meeting summaries for daily executive workflows. Built as a proof of concept using Microsoft Copilot Agents.
Supporting a 600+ endpoint migration from legacy Active Directory to Entra ID with Windows Autopilot — coordinating hardware provisioning, troubleshooting, and logistics across the rollout.
Multi-API n8n workflow that pulls live race data, standings, weather, and session info — formats it into a rich digest and pushes it automatically to a Discord community of motorsport fans.
Autonomous n8n agent that uses LLM classification to read, categorize, label, and clean an inbox — handling high volumes without manual rules or human input.
Self-hosted Ollama + OpenWebUI stack for running local language models — used for AI experimentation, agent testing, and keeping data off third-party APIs.
This site is deployed via Azure Static Web Apps with GitHub Actions CI/CD and a custom domain — built as hands-on AZ-104 study covering DNS validation, IAM, and static hosting.

I'm a senior IT systems administrator with 12+ years of experience, currently based in Indianapolis and relocating to South Bend / Mishawaka in early 2026. My career has been in enterprise infrastructure — keeping systems running, scaling identity and endpoint management, and automating the repetitive work out of IT operations.
I stay close to how things actually work. My homelab runs the same tools I use professionally — n8n, Docker, local LLMs — and the automation workflows I run there are real, production-minded projects, not just tutorials. I share what I build with communities where it's useful, including a motorsport Discord that gets live race data delivered automatically every race weekend.
Outside of IT: IndyCar and F1 (20+ consecutive Indy 500s), sim racing, pinball, gardening, and functional 3D printing on a Bambu Lab A1.
Open to senior IT, infrastructure, and cloud engineering roles in the South Bend / Mishawaka / Elkhart area. Feel free to reach out.
