My entire career has been in public-sector IT, first on an internal K-12 team and now on the MSP side. Those environments taught me that reliability matters more than novelty and that documentation is part of the work, not an afterthought.
My approach to automation starts with the day-to-day reality. The goal is not merely a faster task; it is a controlled process that reduces variation through testing, safety checks, deliberate rollout, and clear documentation. It should be something another person can understand, run, and trust.
