About Me

I got into computers the old-school way—through MUDs, BBSes, curiosity, and a dial-up connection. This became my one and only ask. While my friends were saving up for SNES cartridges, I was saving lawn-mowing money for a 28.8k modem. And I never really stopped.

I’ve spent two decades as a sysadmin—one of those “jack of all trades” types. I’ve worked across stacks, made broken things work again, and kept things running quietly behind the scenes. Then I hit pause to focus on something even more important–my daughter. That came with its own version of uptime monitoring, triage, and soft skills.

Now that she’s older, I’m ready to step back into the field—-with fresh perspective, sharpened skills, and the same curiosity that got me into tech in the first place.

logPhile is where I document what I’m learning, building and exploring. Sometimes it’s cloud infrastructure. Sometimes it’s a weird little side project. Mostly it’s a way to stay honest, stay sharp, and keep moving forward.

Thanks for stopping by.
