Hi — I’m Jacob Meadows.

I focus on server administration with a strong Linux background, plus practical Windows support when needed. I have some basic coding experience, but my main strength is keeping systems stable, organized, and easy to support.

About

My background is mostly hands-on. I have some coding experience, but it is not my main specialty and I would not present it as a primary strength. My main focus is server administration, especially Linux, with enough Windows knowledge to help when needed and to do desktop support work when that is part of the job. I have also built network, hosting, remote access, and identity-related setups in labs and practical environments. I am using this portfolio to show practical experience and reliability while I continue building formal qualifications.
