Hi — I’m Jacob Meadows.
I focus on server administration with a strong Linux background, with practical Windows support when needed. I have some coding experience, but my main strength is keeping systems stable, organized, and easy to support.
My background is mostly hands-on so far but I'm currently working on expanding into certifications while continuing to improve my skills through personal and lab projects.
