fun_fact: Migrated 5 firewalls in a single weekend. Survived.I'm a Cloud & Systems Engineer with 16+ years of enterprise IT infrastructure experience, specializing in Windows infrastructure, cloud platforms, automation, networking, identity, and systems engineering.
I spent 18 years at Rackspace, progressing to Windows Admin IV, where I built extensive experience supporting enterprise infrastructure and solving complex systems problems.
Today, I'm focused on combining that infrastructure background with cloud automation and AI agent engineering.
My current mission:
Build intelligent systems that can reason, plan, execute, verify, and continuously improve.
My primary engineering project is CAOS, a personal Agent Operating System designed to bring together traditional systems engineering and modern AI.

The goal isn't to build another chatbot.
The goal is to build an operating system for intelligent agents.
I build systems using an iterative engineering loop:

PLAN

IMPLEMENT

VERIFY

I believe reliable software and infrastructure are built through continuous inspection, implementation, verification, and review rather than one-shot development.
That philosophy is now at the center of how I approach AI agent engineering.

I'm particularly interested in building systems where AI isn't simply generating text, but can:
Understand → Plan → Act → Verify → Learn
