Bridging Military Discipline and Digital Security.

I believe that technology is the ultimate logistics tool. After a career dedicated to the physical movement of mission-critical assets for the US Navy, I realized that the future of logistics and security lies in the digital realm.

Ambition

In the future

To build secure, automated infrastructure for Japan's future.

Personal Achievements

15+ Years in Japan: From Business Owner to Developer
I established roots in Yokosuka as the co-owner of "Hard Sol," a local bar. This experience gave me a unique perspective on Japanese business culture and community trust. I am currently developing the "Hard Sol Management System," a full-stack Python (FastAPI) application to modernize our inventory and sales tracking. This project demonstrates my ability to solve real-world business problems with code.
2008
US Navy Logistics & Crisis Response (Operation Tomodachi)
Served as a Logistics Specialist forward-deployed in Yokosuka. During Operation Tomodachi, I coordinated high-pressure logistics to support relief efforts. This experience taught me that in a crisis, adherence to procedure and attention to detail are the difference between success and failure—a mindset I now bring to Incident Response and Software Quality Assurance.
Building Secure Automation Tools
I do not just study theory; I build tools. I am actively developing a portfolio of secure automation scripts and cloud-native applications using Python, Docker, and AWS. I focus on "Training Wheels" security—building GUIs and automation that make complex security tasks accessible and error-proof.
