About Me
I am currently employed with Infomedia, a website design and development company located in Birmingham, Alabama. I operate flexibly in the areas of systems administration, web development, and client technical support - all depending on where I am needed in the moment. Any given day might see me:
- Migrating sites from third-party hosts to our own hosting
- Administering infrastructure at AWS and Linode
- Administering domains and their DNS
- Securing servers against malware and unwanted traffic
- Maintaning Apache, Nginx, MySQL, and other system services
- Adding functionality to sites, and improving their user experiences
- Troubleshooting site code and client issues
- Improving email deliverability
- Providing high-quality client experiences
- Writing detailed process documentation to improve team outcomes and shorten turnaround times
In my personal life, I enjoy building my own websites and writing my own programs - this site is an example of one, and other examples can be found on my GitHub. I also find satisfaction in hosting and maintaining my own websites and network infrastructure, including:
- Authoritative nameservers for my domains
- Resolving nameservers for personal use
- A CalDAV (calendar) server
- A network-level adblocker
- A File-syncing server
- A public Nethack Server
Of course, life isn't just about technology! You can also find me reading sci-fi or fantasy (I am currently obsessed with The First Law trilogy), baking (this naan bread is my go-to), or reading about Norse and Byzantine history (and shamelessly naming my servers after locations found therein). If you'd like to work with me professionally, are looking for book recommendations, or just want to talk, get in touch with me below.
