What I do

Four things I am good at

Build and run infrastructure

Proxmox hosts, Windows and Linux guests, Active Directory, Docker, and the templates that make a rebuild boring instead of stressful.

Design segmented networks

VLANs, bridges, pfSense rules, DNS and DHCP, and keeping management traffic away from anything I am deliberately breaking.

Automate the repetitive part

Python, PowerShell, Bash, and Ansible. If I have done a task twice by hand, I would rather turn it into a playbook or a script.

Investigate and respond

Forensic imaging and analysis with Autopsy, FTK Imager, and Volatility, plus traffic and log review to work out what actually happened.
