Open to Strategic IT & Infrastructure Opportunities. Building reliable systems from bare metal up.

Who I Am

I build and manage infrastructure — servers, networks, storage, the full stack. From bare-metal builds to self-hosted services, everything I know came from getting my hands dirty. Freelancing for now, but my focus is on landing a role where I can do this at scale and actually own the systems I maintain.
