Biography

From a young age, I was fascinated with and destined to work in computers.  After studying computer programming, sciences and media arts during high school, I earned my associate degree in Computer Information Management in 2001. In 2002, I began working at the Tribune-Review Publishing Co. as support technician. In less than a year, I had taken on more complex tasks such as maintaining server infrastructure and deploying new servers, designing and setting up network and server monitoring facilities, and so on. Towards the end of my time there, I was customizing open source systems for business needs, among other programming tasks supporting newspaper production.  I joined the Auton Lab in 2005.  In 2008, I completed a B.S. in I.T. and Management from Point Park University.

Here at the Lab, I work on sponsored projects performing data manipulation and programming tasks.  I contribute to the testing and deployment of our software.  I also manage the computing infrastructure at the lab which consists of over 50 servers (web, mail, file, database, and cycle servers), desktops and laptops, handling both hardware and software issues.  The infrastructure also includes firewalls, VPNs, security and backups.  My preference for any server system is to run Linux where possible.  I tend to code most often in Java, bash, and Perl, though I do use other tools where appropriate.
