LinkedIn is my resume. This is my brain.

I'm a customer-facing technical engineer & architect who has spent 15+ years helping non-technical people understand deeply technical things; ZTNA, 5G, MDM, Agentic AI, and whatever the next acronym is. That's the day job. This GitHub is everything else: the projects I'm building, the civic tools I care about, the vibe coding sessions at 1am, and the homelab configs that definitely work on the third try.

I learn tech best by using it. So I use a lot of it. And most of the time it works!

Day Job

Principal Solutions Architect - Building a better internet @ Cloudflare

Customer-facing technical architect. I translate ZTNA, 5G, MDM, Agentic AI, and whatever else into language that non-technical stakeholders can actually act on.

Civic Tech

Open-source tools for government transparency, campaign finance tracking, and community organizing in Arizona. Democracy needs good software; and good data.

Homelab Tinkerer

Self-hosted infrastructure running Docker, NGINX, Cloudflare, mergerfs, and rclone across bare metal and cloud. I learn tech best by using it.

Vexatious Litigant

I investigate and file formal complaints with city, county and state government enforcement organizations for campaign finance violations in Arizona. I've been labeled a "vexatious litigant" by multiple law firms as they think slandering me will somehow help them win their case. It hasn't worked for them yet, and my complaints keep getting their clients referred for prosecution.

`> cat ~/.ai_disclosure`

I use AI tools (primarily Claude) in my development workflow — for coding, writing,
and open-source contributions. I direct the approach, review all output, and make
the final calls. Think of it like pair programming where I'm driving.

I'm the author. AI is my editor.

All AI-assisted contributions are disclosed per project requirements.
