Building things, piece by piece

Technology work, personal projects, and figuring things out along the way.

I work in K-12 technology — the kind of job where you might fix a flapping wan interface at 7am and update a schools ACL by lunch. What keeps me coming back is the problem-solving: finding the friction, then making it disappear.

Outside of work, I'm raising an 11-year-old who keeps me honest and busy. This site is where I document the projects I'm tinkering with, the things I'm learning, and occasionally, the lessons that took longer than they should have.

What I'm Working On

This Server

Setting up a VPS from scratch — web hosting, self-hosted Git, maybe a dashboard to keep an eye on things. Learning by doing.

Streamlining Workflows

Automating the repetitive stuff at work so there's more time for the problems that actually need a human.

Writing It Down

Trying to document more. For future me, mostly. But maybe it helps someone else too.
