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 and to do desktop support when needed for 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. In my free time I enjoy playing video games and exploring new technologies.
