This About Me page has been a long time coming — and in a way, so has everything behind it.

For years I've been working behind the scenes as the Network and Server Administrator for Anthem Coffee & Tea and Joe Coffee (Awake Labs). What started as keeping store networks stable and devices online quietly grew into something much larger — a full self-hosted infrastructure stack I designed, built, and maintain entirely on my own.

Every store location, every Android tablet on the floor, every POS terminal, every printer — if it touches a network, it's gone through my hands at some point. I've learned to be the person who shows up when something breaks, but more importantly, the person who builds systems so things don't break in the first place.

Over the years the role has evolved from reactive IT support into full infrastructure ownership. I wear a lot of hats — network admin, server admin, IT manager, help desk, automation engineer, and sometimes cable-puller — often all in the same week. I genuinely love the variety.

I built this site — and this page — because "IT stuff" doesn't really cover it anymore. This is what years of hands-on work actually looks like.
