The technologist who never stopped building.

Support becomes systems. He starts designing the infrastructure he used to repair — servers, networks, the unseen plumbing that lets thousands of students and faculty simply press a button and have it work. He learns that the best technology is the kind nobody has to think about.

Trust compounds. He takes on technology across numerous academic departments, leading full-time staff and student employees alike. The job stops being about devices and becomes about people: building teams, mentoring students into careers, and steering change through a place that, like all universities, both loves and resists it.

As language models, speech recognition, and translation leap forward, he treats them the way he's always treated new tools — by building with them. Automations that remove drudgery. Open-source experiments. Prototypes that answer a real question: not "what can AI do?" but "what can this person now do that they couldn't yesterday?"

The builder instinct spills past the campus. A bicycle handlebar rack — designed, prototyped, 3D-printed, tested, branded, and trademarked — becomes a real product on a real shelf. Around it grows Duh Industries, a creative-technology umbrella for the experiments that don't fit anywhere else.

Today he leads technology strategy for an entire college — and still keeps a soldering iron, a guitar, and a half-finished prototype within arm's reach. The same eighteen-year-old curiosity, now with two decades of range behind it.
