01Profile

Support that holds a 100% satisfaction rating — in environments where downtime isn't an option.

I troubleshoot the full stack — hardware, software, systems and applications — for end users who need answers fast. At The Bowen Group I coordinate incident management and escalations while meeting 100% of SLAs, and I document every fix so the whole department gets smarter.

Before that, five years at Northrop Grumman: closing hundreds of tickets weekly across multiple operating systems, programming flight-embedded hardware over Linux shell, and helping lead assembly, testing and launch of supersonic sea-skimming targets for Navy defense exercises — on schedule, every time.
