About Me

Tyler working on hardware

I'm a hands-on IT professional with a passion for building, securing, and optimizing technology infrastructure from the ground up.

From configuring enterprise firewalls and managing Proxmox virtualization clusters to building custom PCs and performing penetration testing, I bring a comprehensive approach to every project. My homelab environment serves as both a testing ground and production platform, hosting multiple virtual machines, web servers, and security tools.

I hold four CompTIA certifications and continuously expand my skills across networking, cybersecurity, system administration, and hardware engineering.
