Hey there 👋

I'm Nate — an IT-focused professional with a background in telecommunications, networking, and operations.

I enjoy building, breaking, and fixing systems. Most of my learning happens hands-on through homelabbing, self-hosting services, and experimenting with infrastructure, networking, and automation.

If something interests me, I’ll usually try to build it, document it, and improve it over time.
