  • IT Specialist
  • Systems Administrator
  • Web Developer
  • SEO Consultant

12+ years across systems administration, networking, Linux and Windows, web development, SEO, and hosting infrastructure. I run Silvea Technologies, helping businesses build a real online presence — fast websites, managed hosting, and search visibility that actually moves. I like the part of this work where technical depth and a business problem meet.

Professional Experience

Four roles, one throughline

Keep the systems up, keep the people who depend on them working, and leave the setup better documented than I found it.

2024 — Present

Remote IT Specialist

Long Lewis of the River Region

Enterprise IT support and systems administration across a multi-site organization: Active Directory management, deployments, network support, and troubleshooting for users who need to be back to work now, not eventually.

Ongoing process improvements — the fixes that stop a ticket from coming back a third time.

Current

Owner & Web Solutions Consultant

Silvea Technologies

Design and build websites for local businesses, then optimize them for real search visibility through technical SEO and performance tuning — Core Web Vitals, crawlability, structured data.

Managed hosting, VPS hosting, business email, domain management, SSL, DNS, and the maintenance that keeps all of it quiet. Built a custom SEO auditing platform to make that work repeatable.

Advise owners on digital growth, and stay with clients long after launch.
