I'm Linux-focused and working toward roles in systems administration and cybersecurity, especially in infrastructure automation and OT/ICS environments. Coming from trade work and emergency services, I tend to think in terms of reliability, safety, and systems that need to function under real-world conditions.

• Linux system administration and containerized services (Docker)
• Networking fundamentals and segmentation
• Automation with Bash and systemd
• OT/ICS security concepts and lab environments

containerized-bedrock-server
Production-style Minecraft Bedrock server deployment using Docker Compose. Features persistent storage, automated backups, gamerule enforcement, and resilient restart behavior.

Focus: Linux administration, container lifecycle management, automation

ot-hvac-testbed Microcontroller-driven HVAC control and instrumentation testbed used to explore real-world operational technology concepts. The project incorporates sensor telemetry, actuator control, serial data logging, and basic control logic across multiple platforms, with an emphasis on observability, safety, and failure-aware design.

Focus: OT/ICS fundamentals, embedded systems, Linux-based data logging, system reliability

Multi-VM home lab using Vagrant and Docker for Linux, networking, and security practice. Ongoing coursework in networking and cloud fundamentals, with self-directed projects bridging IT and OT concepts.

I build small, well-documented systems that recover cleanly from failure, automate repetitive tasks, and prioritize maintainability. Repositories here are intentionally minimal and documented to reflect operational thinking.

Linux (Ubuntu, Rocky) • Docker/Compose • Bash • systemd • Git • Networking (TCP/IP, DNS, routing) • OT/ICS protocols

Note: This GitHub serves as a working portfolio and learning log with a focus on documentation and operational mindset.
