As a Systems Technician within James Madison University's (JMU) Infrastructure Services department, I facilitate the daily operations of our primary data centers on campus. My team is responsible for troubleshooting and maintaining the servers, network devices, and storage systems that support the university's IT needs. Collaborating with other teams is a key aspect of my work in guaranteeing the security, reliability, and efficiency of our systems.In addition to my technical experience, I also have a deep passion for live events and audio production. I am currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree with an Independent Study of Technology in the Music Industry, which broadly entails the physics of sound, audio devices, multi-track recording techniques, and event production and promotion.
