I build the unglamorous software a trucking company runs on.
I am an undergrad at the University of Houston with a day job at a flatbed carrier. Most of what I make starts with somebody at work saying this takes me two hours every Friday, and ends with it taking nobody any hours at all.
Websites, automations, and the mail plumbing nobody thinks about until it stops working. Everything here is something I actually shipped, written up with the parts that broke left in.

IT Infrastructure
I rebuilt my home network and I keep meaning to write it up. Until I have the before and after photos and the actual numbers in front of me, a page here would just be me describing a switch. This section stays empty until it is worth reading.
Contact
Got something that takes two hours every Friday?
Tell me what it is and what you have tried. I will tell you whether it is worth automating, even when the answer is no.
