[!NOTE]
I'm a veteran software engineer and systems architect. I build secure, self-hosted tools and AI-integrated platforms. I'm an NSLS-inducted (National Society of Leadership and Success) leader, and I founded TAGS (The Angry Gamer Show Productions).
Primary Identity: Platform Engineering Β· Infrastructure Architecture Β· DevOps Automation Β· Security/Governance Β· AI-Enhanced Engineering
- 25+ years building and securing systems across civilian and government environments
- Veteran | Systems-first builder | DevOps & governance automation specialist
- I build thinking systems: visible learning β doctrine β automation
- Currently leading TAGS (The Angry Gamer Show Productions) Ecosystem
- Recent: Oct 10, 2025 β integrated DevOnboarder as TAGS foundation with IaaS/PaaS/SaaS architecture and 95% quality guardrails
- U.S. Air Force veteran β mission-focused operations, accountability, and system reliability shaped by service in mission-critical environments
I build systems the way mission-critical operations demand they be built:
- Structure over improvisation
- Accountability over ambiguity
- Correctness over cleverness
- Documentation over assumptions
- Automation over heroics
If a system requires tribal knowledge to function, it is already a liability.
- Written context before decisions; initial meetings are used for scoping and discovery when requirements are still forming
- Bias toward observable, repeatable, resilient systems
- Deterministic CI, linting, documentation validation, and reproducible builds
- Clear standards, direct feedback, and auditability over hand-waving
- Core Languages & Formats: Python β’ TypeScript β’ JavaScript β’ Bash β’ SQL β’ Markdown β’ YAML β’ JSON
- Active Learning: Java
- Public Repositories: 3 active projects β’ 3 private development repos
- Organization: The Angry Gamer Show Productions β 9 repositories
Note: Contribution activity reflects a solo build phase focused on end-to-end system design and execution.
WakaTime reflects rolling development activity across daily engineering work, coursework, project builds, documentation, and active learning. It is current workflow evidence, not a permanent ranking of professional skill depth. Large "Other" entries represent unclassified activity and require follow-up before influencing badge changes.
