IT SUPPORT · INFRASTRUCTURE · DEVELOPMENT

Hi, I’m Joe.
I build, fix and learn things.

IT Support Technician Apprentice with a growing focus on infrastructure, networking, cloud technologies, automation and software development.

Practical IT, not just theory.

I’m building my career from hands-on IT support into infrastructure and cloud engineering. My day-to-day work has given me experience troubleshooting real systems, networks and endpoints, while personal projects and a homelab give me space to experiment with technologies outside the workplace.

I like understanding how things fit together — from a device and switch, through DNS and a firewall, to virtual machines, containers and cloud services.

Things I’ve built

Selected projects from GitHub. I’d rather show working code and how a project evolved than pad the page with a giant list of technologies.

My GitHub has the code. My CV has the formal version. This site is the bit in between.
