I relocated from Los Angeles to the Bay Area to work for HP. I'm an exceptional systems engineer that enjoys learning and building large environments. In addition to a BS in Computer Science, I have over eleven years, hands-on experience engineering and managing the infrastructure of the Glendale Public Library, as well as its seven satellite branches. At HP, I was a systems engineer that supported Digital Safe operations. I've had a life long interest in computers. My first computers were my elementary school's Commodore 64 and Apple IIGS. I am an extremely fast learner with excellent verbal and written communication skills. I'm detail oriented, efficient, and ruthlessly bent on automation. My hobbies include grassroots motorsports, traveling, and photography.
