👋 Welcome!
I'm passionate about building secure, efficient, and scalable IT systems. With hands-on experience across enterprise networking, cloud infrastructure, and virtualization, I enjoy creating solutions that make technology work smarter and safer.
Through continuous learning and my personal cybersecurity home lab, I explore the latest in network automation, system hardening, and cloud-native security.
🧩 Who I Am
I thrive on solving complex IT challenges and ensuring systems run seamlessly. My background in network and systems engineering spans server administration, virtualization, and secure infrastructure deployment.
I love diving deep into how networks operate — from VLAN segmentation to firewall rule optimization — and integrating technologies like pfSense, Proxmox, and Docker into practical, production-ready environments.
Hands-on learning drives me. I constantly experiment, document, and share insights to help others strengthen their IT and cybersecurity foundations.
