About this site
This site is a platform for which I plan to share my tech experience, personal projects, and camping trips!
Sharing a bit about who I am will help shed light on the direction of this blog and give insight to you (the reader) about what it's like being in a profession so focused on society and the future while being a person who craves peace and outdoor adventures.

Here's a little bit about me and my goals.
I am a programmer and IT expert. I have a great wealth of knowledge in the realm of software development, database creation, application deployment and maintenance, and cloud integration. Working for companies such as OPEX, Amazon Web Services, and Accenture Federal Services has allowed me to say that I have a deep understanding in these subjects at the industry level.
Being an engineer in a growing environment, doing large-scale and important work, and to be able to teach and guide other fellow engineers has always been my professional goal. On my own time, my most relaxing and therapeutic moments all happened while working on my project cars, helping family with their car troubles, and coding and constantly developing my own home lab.

Some career experience sprinkled with my hobbies.
Throughout the course of my career I have dived into various tech roles ranging from programming robots and application software to managing CI/CD pipelines to cloud engineering. I have worked with creating databases, web-applications, algorithms, cloud frameworks, and much more. Being employed by a variety of companies in a variety of roles has made me a jack of all trades. My current role is as a Senior Server Engineer for Bessemer Trust.
I have also developed a great love for cars. I have began purchasing older vehicles and worked on restoring them and bringing them into working condition. Some of these vehicles are a 1996 Mitsubishi Pajero Mini, 1995 Mazda Miata NA, 1999 BMW 323i, and a 1999 Toyota Tacoma.
My other hobbies include camping, overlanding, snowboarding, and fishing. I highly recommend visiting Vail Ski Resort for a nice weekend of snowboarding! Also, Belmar beach in New Jersey is an excellent spot to go surf fishing if you are in the northeast.
