Profile

/ summary

Deep expertise in networks, cloud, APIs, and applied AI, put to work on the hardest enterprise escalations. My API fluency runs the full stack — from diagnosing HTTP/TLS traffic on the wire to designing secured, documented REST services and integrating third-party and LLM APIs. I own complex, cross-platform incidents (Windows, macOS, ChromeOS, Linux) from symptom to root cause, in close collaboration with customers and engineering — communicating clearly until it’s resolved. Full-stack fluency and AI-assisted analysis keep me fast.

My work lives where rigorous diagnostics meet pragmatic engineering: HAR and net-export analysis, packet captures, and HTTP/TLS/DNS protocol forensics on one side — REST API design (OpenAPI/Swagger, key-auth, rate-limiting), Bash and Python automation, ITIL-aligned process, and applied AI agents on the other.

Across nearly two decades I’ve moved from industrial real-time systems and application support into deep cross-platform diagnostics and complex escalation support. I also mentor engineers and build training and enablement content for support teams.
