[!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).

• 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 → doctrine → automation
• Currently leading TAGS (The Angry Gamer Show Productions) Ecosystem
• Recent: Oct 10, 2025 — integrated DevOnboarder as TAGS foundation with IaaS/PaaS/SaaS architecture and 95% quality guardrails
• U.S. Air Force veteran — 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

Primary Languages: Python • Shell (POSIX/Bash) • JavaScript • TypeScript • PowerShell Public Repositories: 3 active projects • 3 private development repos Organization: The Angry Gamer Show Productions — 9 repositories

Note: Contribution activity reflects a solo build phase focused on end-to-end system design and execution.
