Veteran-made software · Texas

Ex-Marine.
Systems guy.
Now building games that bite.

I’m Jerry, in Texas. Fifteen-plus years keeping real systems up for real people: military, healthcare, manufacturing, retail. Jerbot (say it “jer-BUT”) is what I build when nobody’s handing me a ticket.

Technology that answers to you.

The work

From service to software of my own.

2008–2013

United States Marine Corps · Information Systems Specialist

At Camp Pendleton and Camp Bastion, Afghanistan, I supported 4,000+ users. I ran the help desk, then the customer-service division. I owned SharePoint for the squadron, with 1,000+ permission groups supporting flight-line missions. While deployed, I led the Windows XP to Windows 7 migration of every flight-line asset.

I managed a classified network for 2,000+ users and kept databases tracking $30M+ in equipment and 100,000+ flight and man-hours. I repaired $200,000+ in government gear, saving the unit over $1M in replacements, and trained 30+ people on new systems.

2014

HP · ACES engineering team supporting NASA

I wrote the engineering documents field technicians used to fix problems, tested 30+ HP models, and contributed to the operating-system standard NASA ran on Apple and Windows machines.

Around 2014, on the NASA ACES contract, NASA leadership asked us to build a tool that could predict and mitigate IT problems on the fly. We laughed. Look where we are now.

2015–2017

Energy XXI · through Genesis Networks

I worked as a remote dispatcher for several client companies, then was hired on as a desktop analyst and IT consultant in Houston.

2018–2021

Becton Dickinson · Pyxis medication systems

I kept hospital medication cabinets running remotely across the US, Alaska, Canada and South America. I rebuilt live databases and schemas under HIPAA, on patient-critical clocks, and led facility relocations and consolidations.

2021–2022

Toyota Motor Manufacturing · L3 network administrator

Cisco switching and routing, VLANs, network cabinets, and Tier 2 support for field technicians.

2022–2024

Academy Sports + Outdoors · desktop engineer and technical lead

I wrote the operating procedures, ran large expansion and maintenance projects, and handled the hard tickets.

Now

Jerbot

Software of my own: Rug Pulled!, playable in a browser, and tools for small businesses who want their busywork automated. The same discipline from 15 years of IT runs the shop: written procedures, change control, evidence before “done.”
