I enjoy solving complex systems problems and building maintainable tools that make life easier for engineers, operations teams, and end users.Recent work includes implementing a large-scale monitoring platform migration from LogicMonitor to ScienceLogic SL1, developing custom ServiceNow application enhancements and workflows, and building Splunk dashboards used for operational decision-making and contract compliance tracking. I regularly collaborate across engineering, operations, and stakeholder teams to deliver scalable, well-documented solutions that support long-term platform growth.Before transitioning into engineering, I worked in education, where I gained firsthand experience with digital learning workflows, student engagement, and virtual instruction. That perspective continues to shape my interest in building technology that is not only functional and reliable, but genuinely useful for the people who depend on it. I have a strong growth mindset and enjoy learning new technologies quickly, which has helped me adapt to complex systems and contribute across a wide range of platforms and projects.Key areas of experience include:• Platform engineering and automation• ServiceNow application development• Enterprise system integrations• Monitoring and observability platforms• Splunk analytics and dashboards• Workflow automation and operational tooling• Release management and UAT processesI am passionate about building systems that are reliable, maintainable, and impactful for the people who depend on them from the teams who operate them to the end users they ultimately serve.
