Experience
IT Analyst for a growing franchise operation since October 2023 — analyzing systems, testing software, supporting the people who use it, and documenting how it all works. Before that: restaurant operations with Python underneath them, a software development internship, a Computer Science degree, and a year teaching students to program.

Remote · Franchise network, 50+ locations at peak
Platform QA
- Led pre-launch QA for a multi-tenant SaaS platform built for the company's franchise network, manually provisioning 7 test franchise tenants — each with its own employee and customer accounts — to stress-test the system end to end.
- Validated multi-tenant data isolation, confirming customer, order, and franchise data never crossed between accounts.
- Verified payment-routing integrity through Stripe, confirming each transaction charged the correct franchise account.
- Tested third-party integrations across the platform — distributor and aggregator catalogues (TireHub, ATD), field-service scheduling (Housecall Pro), fleet telematics (Samsara) and messaging (Twilio, SendGrid) — along with checkout flow, transactional email delivery and rendering, and payment confirmations.
Coordination & support
- Served as the liaison between an offshore development team and business stakeholders, translating issues into tracked, prioritized work through Microsoft Planner and Teams.
- Reproduced, documented, and tracked defects with the development team, coordinating fixes and retests.
- Provided application, email, and system-configuration support across a franchise network that scaled to 50+ locations at its peak.
Documentation & systems
- Authored complete end-to-end support documentation in Scribe, reducing repeat questions and easing onboarding for franchise staff.
- Designed and administered a SharePoint intranet to centralize documentation and improve information access across the organization.
- Migrated team operations and communications to Microsoft Teams to support remote collaboration.
- Administered Linux systems and wrote Bash scripts to automate maintenance and routine tasks.

Security practice
Hands-on, outside the job
CS degree with a cybersecurity minor. It started in university lab courses and has stayed self-directed since — all of it in environments built or authorised for it.
University security labs
Coursework for the cybersecurity minor: standing up an intrusion-detection setup with Snort and Wireshark, and working through website-spoofing and penetration-testing concepts with BeEF — in university lab environments built for exactly that. Alongside Linux server administration and Bash scripting.
Hack The Box labs
Worked through multiple HTB machines, practicing reconnaissance, exploitation, and privilege-escalation techniques in a legal, sandboxed environment.
Hardware security experimentation
Tested the Hak5 OMG Cable (keystroke-injection payloads) and Flipper Zero (RFID and sub-GHz) in a personal lab to understand physical-access attack vectors and defenses against them.
SOC analyst self-study
Began coursework toward a SOC analyst certification, focusing on security monitoring, log analysis, and incident-response fundamentals.
Microsoft security
Coursework toward SC-900 — Microsoft security, compliance and identity fundamentals — which is the formal counterpart to the Microsoft 365 tenant administration that is already the day job.

Early work
Coursework, kept for the record
University projects rather than production systems. They are here because they show where the database, access-control and project-planning habits came from — not because they compete with the work above.
E.01Aug — Nov 2022
Johnson & Johnson Vision project
A Jacksonville University project associated with Johnson & Johnson Vision, not work for the company. Built a SQL database, populated it with three years of simulated data, connected it to Excel for pivot-chart reporting, and put a CRUD web application over the top with login restricting access to confidential records.
SQL · Excel pivot analysis · CRUD web application · Authentication
E.02Jan — May 2022
K4S school portal
A student and faculty portal in C# and ASPX: adding, editing and deleting class schedules against an integrated SQL database, behind login and permission-based access control. Built to an Agile process across the phases of the development life cycle.

Mock kiosk system
The planning half rather than the coding half: a request for proposal and a design-and-implementation proposal for kiosk systems, a project communication plan in Microsoft Project, a responsibility matrix, a managed budget and allocated resources.

Hospital database
ER and EER diagrams through to a working database with full insert, update, delete and select operations, built with access controls and user management and designed with larger datasets and higher transaction volumes in mind. Presented the design and the implementation.

EEG & eye-tracking analysis
Collected, organised and analysed experimental data from EEG and eye-tracking equipment, covering the experimental design, the testing and the statistical analysis of the results.
