-            Experience developing web applications and apis, system administration with puppet, database administration, technical writing, and project management. Especially interested in building high performance scalable APIs and implementing continuous deployment systems.
+            I focus on using technology (and a lot of common sense) to simplify and automate tough problems — whether that’s scaling systems, navigating complex environments, or making things work under unusual constraints. Over my career I’ve taken systems from scrappy startup hacks to enterprise-grade infrastructure — always balancing speed, cost, and simplicity.
+
+            I’m a technology generalist with experience across software development, architecture, site reliability, DevOps, infosec, and technical writing. I also tinker: building with Raspberry Pi and ESP32, wiring up Home Assistant, even running a distributed spatial audio system at Burning Man. Different scale, same mindset — making complexity feel intuitive.
+
+            For those who care about credentials, I hold certifications including CCSP, CAP, CCSFP, and AWS Solutions Architect – Professional.
