CTO managing IT infrastructure across 8 locations for a major Las Vegas rental car operation. I build and maintain the systems that keep a multi-site business running — from Windows and Linux server environments to SQL Server databases, Power BI analytics dashboards, and enterprise security policies. Day to day, I work with Active Directory, Group Policy, SQL query optimization, ITSM platforms, network architecture, and endpoint security. I build Power BI dashboards that turn raw data into actionable business intelligence and design maintenance workflows that keep operations running smoothly. Outside of work, I run an extensive Proxmox homelab with dozens of self-hosted services and am deep into JDM automotive culture. I wrench on my own cars, have experience with engine tuning, 3D printing custom parts, and hands-on mechanical and electrical work. I'm comfortable getting my hands dirty — whether that's troubleshooting a production database or pulling an engine. If you need someone who can write a complex SQL query, architect an infrastructure solution, set up self-hosted services, help with a car project, run errands, or handle hands-on tasks in the Las Vegas area — I'm your guy.
