Long before titles or roles mattered, I was drawn to systems — understanding why something behaves the way it does, what holds it together, and what causes it to fail. That curiosity evolved into a career in infrastructure and reliability engineering.
I write about systems, reliability, and the infrastructure decisions that actually matter — from Active Directory to homelabs to automation pipelines. If you’ve ever been paged at 3am because of something that should have been caught earlier, you’re in the right place.
