atlascarolina.comAbout Me
I'm a computer engineer turned IT consultant and business owner. After earning my BS in Computer Engineering from UNC Charlotte, I spent over a decade building and running IT operations — including six years growing a Charlotte break/fix shop into a full managed service provider as its Director of Operations.
In 2018 I founded Atlas Technology Solutions, an Apple Consultants Network member and certified Jamf partner based in Davidson, NC. We help businesses across the Carolinas deploy and manage Apple devices, administer Google Workspace, automate IT work — and through Atlas AI, put practical AI to work safely.
