$ whoami?
I am an experienced and versatile IT professional with over 10 years of expertise in Linux systems administration, DevOps, and Information Security. I am adept at telecommunications software solutions, VoIP deployments, and cloud computing.
As an advocate for open source, data privacy, and continuous learning, I am skilled in project leadership, infrastructure management, and problem-solving with a proven track record of enhancing business productivity through modern IT solutions.
Holding a degree in Systems Administration with a focus on ensuring robust system integrity, I currently am employed as an Infrastructure Systems Administrator at a dynamic tech startup, which serves as critical infrastructure to the United States and large organizations in austere environments.
In my leisure time, I indulge in fixing (breaking?) my Arch Linux install, amateur system administration of my homelab "SaaS"(Suffering as a Service), and software development endeavors. I also enjoy listening to Linux-centric podcasts for continuous learning. I engage in outdoor activities like mountain biking on trails, running, kayaking/fishing, and ice skating/hockey to stay active and balanced.
I have a longer README if you are interested in more about me.
