I focus on server administration with a strong Linux background, plus practical Windows support when needed. I have some coding experience, but my main strength is keeping systems stable, organized, and easy to support.
Focused on infrastructure, support, and the tools I use most often.
A simple timeline that shows experience, current training, and where I’m heading next.
Past
Networks from scratch with pfSense and OPNsense, TP-Link and Cisco hardware, core services like Nginx, Apache, MySQL, MariaDB, Docker, and basic Active Directory configuration including simple Group Policy mapping.
Present
I’m starting school soon, and I’ll be working through the college awards plus related certification training while continuing to build practical systems and support experience.
Future
Short term, I want to complete the program and earn relevant certificates and diplomas. Long term, I want to keep building toward stronger systems, network, security, or cloud support roles.
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.
Open to roles in server administration, Linux-focused support, and related infrastructure work.
