About

I'm an Information Technology Specialist student at Erie Institute of Technology, expected to complete the program in March 2027. My coursework covers networking, systems administration, and infrastructure reliability. As a Student IT Technician at EIT, I apply that training in a real environment. I manage the school's Proxmox VE server and its virtual machines and containers, and I troubleshoot hardware and software for staff and students. I also run my own homelab built on Proxmox, where I manage VMs, LXC containers, and self-hosted services on my own time.
