Modern IT Infrastructure for Startups

My Role

Infrastructure Engineer &
Co-Founder

Co-founded SteadyCloud to bring modern IT automation to startups and SMBs—treating IT as a strategic driver, not a cost burden. After seeing how companies like Square automated everything while traditional companies (especially in St. Louis) handled IT manually, I knew there was a better way.

Built complete Okta deployments (20+ app integrations, SCIM provisioning, SOC 2 controls) for startup clients. Established as trusted Apple Consultant with partnerships across Jamf and Okta. Designed identity governance architecture that helped clients achieve SOC 2 certification.

This hands-on experience building production infrastructure from scratch—navigating complex SCIM integrations, designing strategic access policies, and guiding clients through compliance—informs how I approach every infrastructure project today.

"IT should drive company initiatives forward, not be seen as a cost burden."
