I am a lifelong, self-motivated technology enthusiast who has been in the IT & software development field since I was in high school more than two decades ago. I strive to continue to self-educate to keep up with new and emerging technologies, and greatly enjoy the opportunity to deploy these new technologies in my work to facilitate speedier, more efficient, and more secure business processes. The future, change, and the possibility that these things enable provides me with an endless excitement.
