Hi, I'm Richard.
IT & Network Admin
IT Manager
Infrastructure Builder
I build and run the systems that keep busy teams moving — from the warehouse floor to the cloud. Hands-on with networks, Linux servers, and workflow automation, I love turning messy operational problems into reliable, observable, repeatable infrastructure.
I'm also hard of hearing and fluent in American Sign Language — and I bring that same patience and adaptability to every technical challenge.
