IT professional • Writer • Editor • Vancouver, B.C., Canada
I work in IT, mostly helping people untangle systems that stopped making sense somewhere along the way.
I’ve spent over a decade troubleshooting software, workflows and the occasional human panic and I care a lot about clarity, documentation and fixes that actually stick.
I also write and edit, with a background in technical documentation and newsroom work. I’m interested in how technology, institutions and people quietly fail and how they can work better.
Outside of work: homelabs, system hygiene, wandering and philosophical detours.
What I do
- Technical support & calm incident triage
- Troubleshooting across apps, devices, accounts, workflows
- Documentation that people actually use
- Editorial work — research, writing, cleanup
Now
- Home base: Vancouver, B.C.
- Current focus: stability, simplicity and good systems
- Principle: boring fixes beat clever hacks
