My Story

My interest in technology began around the age of fifteen when my father and I set up my first computer. What started as a tool for school quickly became something much more. I became fascinated by how technology worked and spent countless hours learning, building, and exploring new concepts.

Technology was a natural path for me because my father spent over twenty years working as both an IT Administrator and Software Developer. Growing up around technology gave me early exposure to the industry and inspired me to build a career of my own.

I started my first professional IT role in August 2025 and quickly found myself working with Microsoft technologies, infrastructure management, security improvements, automation, and user support.

Alongside my professional experience, I pursued a degree in Computer Science to broaden my technical foundation and continue learning across multiple areas of technology.

The inspiration behind Riviant came after helping a former high school teacher build a website. What began as a simple project quickly revealed how much I enjoyed helping business owners solve problems and achieve their goals through technology. That experience ultimately became the foundation for what would later become Riviant.

Today, I continue helping businesses modernize their technology, strengthen their online presence, and create solutions that support long-term growth.

Founder Story

Why I Started Riviant

Riviant was born from the belief that every business deserves technology designed specifically for their goals.

After helping build a website for a former teacher, I realized how much impact technology can have when implemented correctly. I also realized that many businesses were limited by generic platforms, restrictive templates, and one-size-fits-all solutions.

I founded Riviant to provide businesses with custom-built technology solutions that prioritize flexibility, performance, and long-term success.

More importantly, I wanted to build a company centered around relationships.

Every client has unique goals, challenges, and opportunities. By developing strong partnerships and understanding the businesses I work with, I can create solutions that genuinely help them grow.

As Zig Ziglar famously said:

"You can get everything in life you want if you help enough other people get what they want."

That philosophy continues to guide every project and every client relationship.

Personal Background

Beyond Technology

When I'm not building technology solutions, you can usually find me:

  • Playing basketball
  • Going to the gym
  • Learning new skills and technologies
  • Spending time at the range
  • Building and customizing rifles
  • Growing Riviant
  • Meeting new people and building connections

I believe personal growth, continuous learning, and meaningful relationships are just as important as professional success.
