My current project: ConvertQR

ConvertQR is a toolkit to help small and medium businesses convert physical interactions, into digital analytics.

About Me

Hello, I am a very motivated, quick learning Automation/DevOps/Cybersecurity Engineer passionate about delivering reasonably secure, repeatable products within a fast timeline. I spend large amounts of my free time programming, working on my servers, and consuming information regarding the field of computing as a whole. My preferred tech stack for these projects would be Vagrant for VM administration, with Ansible/Bash/Python for when finer controls are needed, but I would be excited to learn as many new skills as needed to handle whatever may be thrown at me.
