What I do

3.5+ years of IT operations in a managed-services environment — Active Directory, Microsoft 365, Windows Server, and a steady stream of HelpDesk tickets. Now going deep on backend fundamentals: APIs, databases, and microservices.

I build things on Linux, run a home server for self-hosting experiments, and I'm bilingual English/Spanish.
