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, cloud environments 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 preserving at-risk data.

Home lab

This is my current home lab as of 2025. 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.
