I'm an IT Support Analyst with a strong passion for system administration and infrastructure automation. My skill set includes:

• Hardware troubleshooting (servers, desktops, networking gear)
• Containerization (Docker, Portainer, Dockge)
• Web technologies (HTML, CSS)
• Homelab enthusiast: I run and document my own homelab, continuously experimenting with new tools, services, and automation.

I'm always learning—whether it's deepening my Linux skills, automating tasks with scripting, or exploring cloud platforms. My goal is to grow into a full-fledged Sysadmin and eventually dive deeper into DevOps practices.

Check out my homelab-config repo for:

• Infrastructure-as-Code templates

• Diagrams and documentation for learning and sharing

• Operating Systems: Linux (Ubuntu, CentOS), Windows
• Networking: TCP/IP, VLAN, firewalls, DNS, DHCP
• Automation: Bash, Python, PowerShell
