Mac Administrator & Automation Engineer

I’m a Senior Information Technology Engineer specializing in Mac systems administration, workflow automation, and security infrastructure. Currently at PrizePicks, I build production-ready systems that help IT teams manage Apple ecosystems at scale.

What I Do

I focus on creating automation frameworks and workflows that make Mac administration more secure, efficient, and maintainable. My work centers around:

  • Jamf Pro & JumpCloud - Enterprise Mac management and automation
  • Bash & Git - Production scripting systems with version control and security
  • Security & Compliance - Credential management, vulnerability patching, and access control
  • Change Management - Systematic approaches to infrastructure changes

Experience Highlights

Current: Senior Information Technology Engineer at PrizePicks (2024-Present)

Previously: I’ve managed Mac environments ranging from 200+ university departments to financial services organizations with strict security requirements. Career highlights include:

  • Built Mac management systems from the ground up at UNC Charlotte, managing multi-node Jamf infrastructure and Automated Device Enrollment migration
  • Served as VP of Information Technology at Classic, overseeing security, infrastructure, and development teams through ISO 27001 certification
  • Managed computing operations for a 5-department university merger, scaling from 30 to 175 faculty/staff
  • Implemented Mac management solutions using Munki, AutoPkg, and custom bash automation

I’ve been working with Mac systems since 1997, spanning roles from hands-on administration to leadership positions. My background includes Linux system administration, VMware/Ansible infrastructure, and extensive security work with proxy, DLP, and IPS systems.

Technical Approach

I believe in building systems that are maintainable, well-documented, and security-first. Whether it’s creating a Git-integrated scripting framework or implementing credential protection with tools like Rocketman Command Center, I focus on solutions that scale and can be handed off cleanly.

This blog documents my projects, shares practical findings from daily work, and serves as a technical portfolio of the automation and workflow systems I build.
