So, Who’s This “Nerd”?
Yeah, exactly what the blog name promises: I’m the guy from IT. The one you call when Outlook decides to have an existential crisis, when the network mysteriously vanishes, or when someone just needs the TV plugged in and “synced” — because apparently anything with a cable near a wall socket is automatically my problem.
The Actual Job
I’ve been a SysAdmin since 2007, mostly wrestling with Microsoft and Linux servers, workstations, networking, and anything else that runs on electricity and bad decisions.
Chasing the Cloud
Lately I’ve been poking around the future (which, let’s be honest, is also very much the present): picking up Microsoft Azure certifications like AZ-900 and DP-900 (the free, easy ones — no shame) and the AZ-104, which officially makes me qualified to play with Microsoft’s cloud toys, in exchange for a very reasonable monthly fee to Redmond.
Why This Blog Exists
Bottom line: I’m a tech enthusiast who likes sharing what he learns, badly-written jokes included.
