Interests / Possible Future Projects:

I would like to explore more on the automation side of things, as well as various sysadmin + networking related tasks that can be done on Linux.

I would love to do more on Linux…lightweight, free, open source, and being able to dive into the terminal is a lot of fun! Love a challenge!
