About

Transitioning into IT with hands-on experience built from the ground up in a home lab — Active Directory, Linux administration, virtualization, and ticketing systems. Currently working through CCNA certification, with Red Hat (RHCSA/RHCE) next on the roadmap. Every project below is something I built, broke, documented, and fixed myself.
