IT Systems Administrator & aspiring Blue Team Security Analyst based in Maple Ridge, BC.
I hold a Computer Information Systems Administration Diploma and a genuine obsession with how systems tick — and how to defend them when things go sideways.
My background is in sysadmin work: networking, servers, infrastructure. But I've been pulling hard toward the security world, building out a home lab, exploring Blue Team tooling like Wazuh and Splunk, and working toward my first security certifications.
When I'm not in a terminal, I'm probably deep in a souls-like or tinkering with my desktop setup. I like things that reward patience and careful attention — which turns out to be good practice for both hobbies.
