I am an Information Technology Manager with experience leading infrastructure, systems administration, and IT operations across healthcare and manufacturing environments. I currently lead the in-house IT team at Dickson Medical Associates, where we run the core infrastructure behind business-critical clinical and operational systems.

I enjoy building reliable systems, improving operational efficiency, and leading teams that deliver technology which directly supports the business.
