70%less manual inventory entry

275+campus workstations supported

1,000+students served by Bloomberg terminals

About

A systems-minded engineer who likes making messy problems usable.

My work spans hardware repair, embedded prototyping, database-backed web tools, and AI-assisted workflows. At Rutgers Business School IT, I have supported large workstation environments, built automation that reduced manual inventory entry by 70%, and helped turn recurring support issues into documented, repeatable processes.

I bring a mix of engineering depth and user-facing support experience: I can debug the system, explain the issue clearly, and build a practical fix that people can actually use.
