About

Linux & Storage System Administrator at Luxair S.A., tasked with the configuration, deployment, and management of Company infrastructure assets. Working in IT infrastructure, managing complex systems, deployments, and integrations for a large organization gave me a clear view of something most small businesses never get access to, the systems thinking, process design, and technology strategy that makes operations actually run smoothly. I founded AltOptix to bring that same clarity to small and mid-sized businesses. Not enterprise complexity; practical, outcome-focused technology consulting that reduces manual work, improves responsiveness, and simplifies how businesses operate. If your business is dealing with disconnected tools, slow follow-up, manual admin tasks, or a website that isn't doing its job, that's exactly the kind of problem AltOptix was built to solve. Based in Chicago. Serving SMBs remotely and locally.
