Overview

I have a strong IT and data analysis background, with degrees in Computer Information Systems, Management Information Systems, and Biosystems Analytics and technology. I’ve gained hands-on experience in programming, data analysis, system configuration, troubleshooting desktop computers, installing software, debugging networks, and providing customer support. This has helped me build practical skills supporting users in office environments and contributing to technical research projects.

Through hands-on experience in controlled environment agriculture, I worked with sensors, controls, and data logging. I’ve installed and configured the sensors and controls to automate growing equipment in hydroponic growing systems. I cultivated various crops in greenhouses and vertical farms. I've even worked with cacao trees in the tropical rainforest biome at Biosphere 2.

I have a strong background in computer science and years of hands-on experience working in software development, systems support, and IT management. One of my core strengths is my ability to bridge the gap between highly technical systems and the real-world needs of their users.

I have spent years working closely with large corporate clients, learning how they operate, understanding their specific workflows, and translating those into meaningful changes to proprietary software. This wasn’t just about writing code; it was about listening, asking the right questions, and ensuring every solution fit the client’s needs.

I was often the main point of contact between our clients and the development team, which required clear, patient communication with people from all backgrounds - technical and non-technical. Whether explaining system functionality to end-users, collaborating with IT teams, or sitting down with executives to plan long-term improvements, I focused on building trust and delivering results.

Much of my work involved adapting complex systems to make them easy to use while keeping performance and scalability in mind. I take pride in being someone who can understand the technical side, communicate it clearly, and follow through to make sure it works in the real world.
