I've always believed that the most honest thing a person can do is pay attention. Photography, for me, is exactly that — a discipline of looking, of slowing down long enough to notice what light does to a temple at midnight, or how a city holds its breath between moments. Alongside the lens, I work with my hands: sculpting and painting have been quiet companions to my visual life, each medium teaching me something the others cannot.
I am a Senior AIX & Hybrid-Cloud Engineer with over two decades of experience designing and securing critical infrastructure for Miami-Dade County Government. The precision that goes into maintaining systems at 99.97% uptime is not so different from composing a photograph — both demand clarity of intent, and an eye for what matters. A B.S. in Information Technology from SUNY Albany, along with IBM, Red Hat, and CISSP certifications, grounds the technical side of who I am.
