Hi! I’m Steven, a lifelong technology enthusiast and an IT professional of 7 years. I thrive on new challenges. Wrapping my head around a complex problem, researching solutions, generating a proof of concept, implementing, testing, and documenting - Each step reinforces my conviction that any challenge can be overcome with willpower, determination… or quick walk around the block.

I initially ventured into the tech world as an aspiring Web Developer. I dove headlong into the deep waters of software development, and I fell in love. The blend of logic and creativity that coding allows suited me perfectly.

My coding ambitions would have to be put on hold, as the opportunities in my surroundings were sparse. I instead found myself in the world of IT Support, and what an invaluable detour it’s been. My first few years were spent in the Managed Service Provider space, where my growth was exponential. Every day I was presented with a problem I’d never encountered. A piece of software I’d never used. An error I’d never seen. No matter what was broken, I made it work again. I found that IT fulfilled the same craving for complexity and problem-solving that I had first found in coding. I further honed my skills in Windows Server Administration and Cisco Networking, quickly becoming an essential contributor on any team.

Now, I’m ready to enter a new arena: Cloud Computing. I’m captivated at the possibilities this technology provides. I’ve spent many months drinking from the firehouse that is AWS, DevOps, and Infrastructure as Code. I encourage you to take a look at my projects, particularly my Cloud Portfolio blog post.

As you navigate through my portfolio, you’ll discover a professional who is continuously evolving, always eager to learn, and unyielding in the face of challenges—let’s conquer the cloud together.
