About Me

Committed to upholding excellence and adapting in the dynamic IT landscape, I am a collaborator working to improve intricate IT environments while fostering positive relationships with users.

As a seasoned IT professional with a Masters of Science in Internet Information Systems and over two decades of hands-on experience, I bring a unique blend of technical expertise and interpersonal skills to every role. My proficiency spans from managing hardware and software infrastructure to coordinating audio-visual services, showcasing my versatility within the Information Technology landscape.

Specialized in hardware, networking, and security, I have successfully overseen hardware and software purchases while maintaining strong relationships with various University departments. My extensive knowledge of University services, coupled with a deep understanding of purchasing procedures, allows me to navigate complex environments seamlessly.

What sets me apart is not just my technical acumen but also my personable approach. I excel in collaborating with individuals from diverse backgrounds, fostering positive relationships with students, faculty, and staff. Having established strong connections with Pitt IT, UCTL, and other University resources, I am well-positioned to contribute effectively to the University of Pittsburgh's IT ecosystem.

My technical toolkit includes expertise in Apple devices, databases, Microsoft Office and Word Perfect Suites, Microsoft Windows Server, Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager, Microsoft SharePoint, Adobe Creative Cloud, Jamf Casper Suite, and BlackBoard/Canvas. Additionally, my Clifton strengths—responsibility, belief, connectedness, positivity, and adaptability—underscore my commitment to excellence and adaptability in ever-evolving IT landscapes.

I am not just a technologist; I am a collaborative problem-solver dedicated to enhancing the technological infrastructure of the University of Pittsburgh.
