Education & Background

Self-Directed Professional Development
Non-Traditional Education Path

My education was driven by necessity, not a syllabus. Leaving the formal school system early and navigating life as a ward of the state required me to master the art of self-instruction.

I have built my career on the ability to absorb, understand, and apply complex technical concepts without oversight.

Professional Objective

After over two decades of successful independent contracting, I am seeking to transition into a dedicated, long-term role. At 45, I am operating at the peak of my technical capacity and possess the field-tested judgment that only comes from years of solving problems on the fly. I am looking for the right organization to invest my skills, work ethic, and loyalty in for the next major chapter of my career.
