What began as a curiosity about how things connect has grown into a 30-year journey through IT. I’m a Senior Developer at Hypertherm Associates, the global leader in precision industrial metal-cutting technology, where I help teams harness the power of AI and Microsoft’s modern work tools.  My experience spans everything from early networking and intranet builds in Notepad to solution architecture, M365 administration, and full stack web development and DBA. Today, I lead efforts in low-code development and global AI initiatives in IT—including Microsoft Copilot rollouts—while promoting smarter, more collaborative workflows through modern digital tools. With deep expertise in the M365 ecosystem, Power Platform, and experience with Azure AI services, I focus on using promoting everyday technology to simplify complexity. I am always eager to learn and easily distracted by animals of any kind.
