// professional profile

Landon Strempel is an IT systems and support specialist with more than a decade of experience in Apple-first, cloud-native environments. His work spans device management, identity systems, automation, user support, knowledge architecture, and security-minded operations.

He has implemented Mosyle MDM and zero-touch deployment, connected Veracross with Apple identity workflows, built API-driven Notion and Zendesk systems, and supported teams across education, creative agencies, consulting, and production environments.

Alongside IT, he brings 15+ years of photography, brand design, and creative production—and now applies that same visual and systems thinking to React, Next.js, SwiftUI, Firebase, and AI-assisted product development.
