<About_me>

I am transitioning my career to gain concrete technical and professional skills, using past experience and a masters degree as a foundation.

I’m a U.S. Army veteran and career changer building a future in AI automation and quality engineering. I work as a Quality Assurance Coordinator and recently completed an AI Automation internship where I deployed 14 production workflows using n8n, Make.com, and REST APIs. I’m CompTIA A+ certified with Google AI Essentials, currently working toward Microsoft AZ-900 and PL-900 (expected November 2026), and pursuing an M.S. in Software Engineering at Kennesaw State. My background in government administration brings strong communication and documentation discipline to every technical team.
