The hire
The person who sees a broken workflow and ships the system.
Title says Technical Specialist. The work is project delivery: infrastructure, AV, device lifecycle, vendor coordination, and custom software — for a high school that can’t wait on a purchase order.
Ops, not tickets
Owns campus IT end-to-end: endpoints, Microsoft 365, Power Automate, asset tracking, live-event AV, and staff enablement.
Builds in production
Ships tools students and administrators actually use the next morning — locator apps, kiosks, this hub — then keeps them alive.
Depth + range
Board-level repair, field service, HIPAA-era medical IT, then K-12 at scale. Rare mix of hands, systems, and product sense.
Selected work
Shipped. In use. On a school budget.
Three production systems RJ designed, built, and still runs — because buying a vendor platform wasn’t an option.

Vanessa Quiñones · Recommendation
He set the standard on my field team. I’d put him in any role that needs critical thinking, calm under pressure, and people who actually follow through.
Ryan Davis · Best Buy / Field Leadership
Testing day used to mean hallways full of kids hunting for a room on a taped roster. RJ’s locator made it a 10-second lookup. Staff stopped firefighting and started running the day.
