About

This page contains some details about myself.

This has been my personal web site since 2008, but I've been tinkering with technology for a bit longer than that.

I started using DOS and Linux computers and spending time on IRC channels in the 1990s, then migrated to playing MMORPG games, browsing newsgroups and forums. I've worked as a Systems Administrator on Linux and Windows servers, created small Python scripts, HTML and PHP web sites, automation, CI/CD pipelines, and maintain a home lab containing Raspberry Pi devices, routers, switches, mini-PCs and retro gear.

I work in the IT corporate world, and when off the clock I enjoy PC gaming, watching Anime, reading comics, figure collecting, writing open source software and creating digital art.

Home lab

This is my current home lab as of 2019. It consists of a NAS using ZFS on NVMe disks, a cluster of Proxmox mini PCs running dozens of my own custom applications, open source apps along with various workloads, retro-OSes, and a Raspberry Pi running a custom made status screen. This lab is used constantly to learn new technologies, test hardware and software.

Certifications

These are just some industry certifications I've earned over the years:

Digital art

Around 2007-2015 or so I created a number of 3D renders using the software products Poser and E-On Vue. I made over 1,000 images in those years until I ran out of ideas for scenes to create.
