The Short Version

I've spent 20+ years building, breaking, and fixing IT infrastructure across finance, healthcare, telecom, food & beverage, and retail. I started racking servers before "the cloud" was a thing, and I haven't stopped tinkering since.

My day job is enterprise IT โ€” Active Directory, Entra ID, Intune, network architecture, security hardening, the whole nine. But after hours, I'm running a home lab that would make some small businesses jealous: Proxmox clusters, Docker stacks, pfSense firewalls, self-hosted everything.

I'm especially deep in networking โ€” VLAN design, VPN tunnels, DNS architecture, IDS/IPS, and wireless deployments. If packets move through it, I've probably configured it.

I also run MRDTECH, providing trustworthy technology services for homes and small businesses across northern Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire. No job too small, no network too messy.
