Digital Archaeology & Field Technology Specialist

Bridging telecommunications expertise with archaeological preservation through practical technology solutions.

Digital Tools for Archaeological Preservation

After two decades in telecommunications infrastructure, I'm applying my technical background to develop practical tools for archaeological research and preservation.

My work focuses on creating accessible technology solutions that help document, analyze, and preserve archaeological findings using AI, custom field equipment, and data visualization.
