Experience

Public-sector IT since 2021: a county with 150 to 300 users, ten courthouse sites for the Idaho state courts, a city and a special district, where systems have to be up when the courtroom opens. Plus a small managed-IT practice of my own. UplinkSync is a small practice I run on my own time; I’m looking for a full-time infrastructure role.
