Education

Independent Learning

Self-directed, ongoing education outside of any formal classroom.

Self-Teaching & Continued Education

Ongoing

I never stopped building. I maintain a home server lab where I experiment with self-hosted apps, deployment automation, and cloud-native tooling. I've published open source tools and internal packages, and I'm constantly learning more about platform engineering, DevOps, GitOps, and SRE best practices, because I believe in understanding the whole system, not just one layer of the stack.
