Head of IT & Technology

I build the technology
that keeps plants running.

At a specialty chemicals manufacturer in New England, I took an empty seat labeled “IT specialist” and turned it into the company’s technology function — infrastructure, deployment, cybersecurity, physical security, and the custom software that holds it all together.

What I work on

Platform & Infrastructure

Proxmox clusters, Linux servers, databases, IaC with Ansible + Terraform, self-hosted everything. The stack plants actually run on.

Deployment & Automation

CI/CD pipelines, container workflows, scripted provisioning, document automation. Removing the parts of IT nobody should be doing by hand.

Physical Security

UniFi Access & Protect, badge systems, camera networks, door/gate/fire-alarm integrations. IT and building systems on one pane of glass.

Offensive Security

CTFs, purple-team exercises, physical and digital penetration testing, hardware/RF research, DEFCON attendee. Security posture designed by someone who routinely tries to break it.
