About
What I Do
My title is Process Development Specialist. The reality of the role is broader: I operate across software, infrastructure, production hardware, and people. When systems break or processes stall, I'm usually the one brought in to map the problem, stabilize the environment, and implement a long-term solution.
At a litigation support company, my work spans automation tooling, internal software, OCR pipelines, infrastructure administration, and production hardware maintenance. When a document processing pipeline fails, the diagnosis might land on a DNS misconfiguration, a corrupted TIFF header, a Kyocera fuser issue, or a script that choked on an edge case. Usually it's several of those at once. The reason I'm effective is that I can trace problems across all of those layers — not just the one that happens to be "my job."
I build automation tools in Python, PowerShell, JavaScript, and Go. I administer Active Directory, Group Policy, DNS/DHCP, NAS systems, and firewalls. I perform full maintenance kits on production printers and integrate them into imaging workflows. I build internal dashboards, desktop utilities, and data-driven interfaces. These aren't separate jobs — they're all part of understanding the environment well enough to actually fix it.
That infrastructure literacy is the differentiator. Plenty of people can write scripts. Fewer understand the network, the hardware, and the organizational workflows that the software has to survive in. I work cross-departmentally because problems don't stay inside org chart lines, and the most impactful solutions are the ones that connect systems together rather than optimizing them in isolation.
Beyond Work
I write poetry. It's how I process what I can't debug. Different discipline, same honesty requirement.
I also make music — that side of things is still coming together. More on that eventually.
The short version: I'm a person who builds things, fixes things, and occasionally writes about what it feels like to do both.
