About Me

I’m an IT professional with an AAS in Network & Server Administration, a BA in Communications, and multiple technical certifications including CompTIA A+ and Network+.

In June 2024, I built a structured home‑lab environment that simulates a real‑world small‑business network. I designed its physical layout and logical topology—implementing VLAN segmentation, multi‑router configurations, and managed‑switch setups—then deployed Windows Server 2022 on a Proxmox bare‑metal hypervisor. I configured Active Directory, DNS, DHCP, and GPOs to manage user access and security across departmental subnets.

Since then, I’ve been honing my skills through hands‑on experimentation, trying out new configurations, troubleshooting real‑world issues, and gradually expanding the lab’s capabilities as time allows. Throughout the process, I’ve troubleshot real‑world issues like DNS resolution failures, VLAN misconfigurations, and GPO application conflicts—documenting every step in detail to refine my troubleshooting workflow.

Beyond technical work, I bring leadership and communication skills honed in retail management and freelance web‑development roles. When I’m not working on my home lab, I enjoy hiking and staying active — and I’m always learning. I’m currently expanding my skills in AI‑powered IT workflows including enrollment in HarvardX’s CS50: AI with Python course.
