About Me
Passionate about technology that connects and performs, I bring together expertise in software development, IT infrastructure, and live event systems. I build secure, efficient applications in C#, ASP.NET, and Blazor, manage reliable networks, and engineer professional sound systems for events and productions. Whether developing new software, deploying event WiFi, or running live audio, my goal is to deliver solutions that are clear, connected, and built to perform.
