Aspiring systems admin — networking, Linux, cloud.

Open to work

I'm a recent graduate with a hands-on obsession for how systems connect and communicate. My journey started with a home lab — spinning up VMs, breaking things, and figuring out how to fix them.

Along the way I fell into networking (OSPF, VLANs, subnetting), got comfortable on the Linux CLI, and started deploying to the cloud. I'm someone who reads the docs and gets it done.

Looking for an entry-level role where I can contribute and grow into a solid systems or network administrator.
