About Me
Technology has been an integral part of my life from an early age. My journey began in the late ’80s and early ’90s, when my father managed MicroAge one of the pioneering PC retail stores of the time. I grew up navigating DOS prompts on an IBM PS/2, immersed in the transformative rise of PC’s & Open Architecture <x86>. From the iconic Apple vs. Microsoft rivalry to the rise of IBM “clones” which ignited a wave of innovation that helped make personal computing more accessible to the masses.
In the early ’90s, my friends and I joined a computer club that hosted a “dial-up” BBS and met monthly at a local arcade. We were captivated by the ability to interact in real time through chat and early multiplayer games. Those experiences sparked a deep fascination with technology! Not just as a tool, but as a growing ecosystem of possibilities.
I’ve participated in the evolution of computing…like the leap from 32-bit to 64-bit architecture and the early days of Hyper-Threading to the rise of multi-core CPU and cloud virtualization. These breakthroughs didn’t just boost performance, they redefined the potential of what technology can do. That perspective inspired my pursuit of a career in tech, supported by multiple technical certifications and a Bachelor’s degree of “Information Technology Business Management”.
With decades of hands-on experience and a real-life perspective of technology’s rapid evolution, I bring a rare blend of historical insight and modern expertise. My skill set spans system administration and desktop support, full-stack web development, networking, cybersecurity, business analysis, and solution sales. I’m passionate about delivering scalable, reliable, and customized technology solutions that help businesses thrive.
