My Background

Hello! I’m a passionate musician with a lifelong love for music. I began playing drums at the age of 4 in 2004, and I’ve continued to play ever since. Along the way, I also discovered the piano just shortly afterward, and I’ve had the privilege of exploring both instruments through high school and college.

 

Over the years, I’ve taught music at schools across the Sacramento Valley, including Antelope and Whitney High School. I am also an adjudicator for several band circuits, including the Northern California Band Association, a partner of Winter Guard International, and I participate in adjudicating music festivals and competitions throughout the state.

 

One of my focus strengths is structured troubleshooting and incident response. During a high-impact network outage affecting multiple shop floor systems, I quickly assessed the scope, validated the infrastructure status, and identified a misconfigured network segmentation issue. By restoring partial functionality while completing root-cause analysis, I helped minimize production disruption and ensured a stable recovery. I routinely work with Ubiquiti networking equipment and Palo Alto firewalls, reviewing configurations, logs, and traffic flows to maintain secure and reliable operations.
