My Background

I am currently employed as a Cloud Services Specialist for a global physical security company. I am a fully qualified remote security support specialist. I am certified in several access control, network video surveillance and intrusion prevention systems. I have a Master of Science in Information Technology from the University of Cincinnati and a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry from Governors State University. I have extensive art and design studio education from the Herron School of Art at Indiana University, The Art Academy University of San Francisco, and the Art Institute of Pittsburgh. I am currently finishing both Front End and Back End Engineering Program at Code Academy and studying for AWS Cloud Practitioner Certification. I will be receiving a Graphic Arts Certification from California Arts and Design Academy within the next few months.

I have a keen interest for web design and graphics, cloud applications, and IoT fabrications.

I have a solid background in Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop and working knowledge of After Effects. I supplement my professional time creating and integrating home automation appliances. I still study formal studio art pursuits. My primary media are pastels and do some sculpture in Limestone and Alabaster as well.

My home automation fabrications push me to study non-structural welding, simple metal working and CAD applications for printing.
