Hi, my name is Reed.

​

I build, secure, and support technology systems by combining infrastructure, networking, security, automation, and analytical problem-solving to solve real-world technical challenges.

​

I hold a Bachelor's degree in Information Technology from Virginia Tech and a Master's degree in Industrial & Organizational Psychology. My background combines hands-on technology experience with analytical thinking, allowing me to approach technical systems through both practical troubleshooting and data-informed decision-making.

​

My professional experience spans data analytics, behavioral analysis, and hardware/infrastructure environments. In data-focused work, I have worked with data collection, validation, analysis, visualization, and reporting to identify trends and support decision-making. My behavioral science background has involved measurement, research, assessment, and understanding how people interact with systems and processes. In infrastructure and technical environments, I have worked hands-on with network-connected hardware, security systems, troubleshooting, system deployment, and technical support.

​

My work and projects continue to expand across several areas:

​

Infrastructure & Security – Deploying, configuring, troubleshooting, and administering network-connected systems, Linux environments, virtualization, networking labs, and enterprise security infrastructure, while continuing to develop deeper skills in systems administration and vulnerability management.

​

Automation & Technical Solutions – Designing workflows, developing Python-based automation, integrating platforms, and implementing technical solutions that reduce manual effort and improve operational efficiency.

​

Data & Analytics – Collecting, cleaning, validating, and analyzing structured and unstructured data to identify trends, support decision-making, and communicate meaningful insights through reporting and visualization.

​

Systems Thinking & Human Factors – Applying analytical problem-solving and an understanding of human behavior to improve workflows, operational processes, and technology adoption within complex organizations.

​

I enjoy working at the intersection of technology, operations, data, and people. Whether supporting infrastructure, troubleshooting technical systems, building automation tools, or analyzing data, my goal is the same: understand complex systems, improve how they operate, and solve meaningful technical problems.
