About

 I’ve spent most of my career working in and around IT infrastructure — mainly networks, but also servers and the systems that sit on top of them. Early on, I enjoyed learning the details and the theory. Over time, what mattered more was seeing how those designs held up in the real world.

These days, I’m still hands-on. Much of my work now is in live environments — retail locations, POS systems, and small to mid-sized networks — where things need to work, not just look good on a diagram. That experience has shaped how I think: keep things clear, keep them simple, and understand the impact a decision has on the people using the system.

This site is my professional notebook. It’s where I write things down so I don’t forget them — lessons learned, patterns I’ve seen repeat, and ideas that became clearer only after time and experience. Some entries are technical. Others are more about judgment, tradeoffs, and communication.

I’m still learning as I go, but I’ve found that when you get the fundamentals right, the rest of the mess usually sorts itself out
